A New Year! : From Scratch


Welcome to Summers from Scratch!  I'm Jenni Summers Reay and frankly I am obsessed with knowing how things are made, from scratch!  This fascination goes far beyond food, it extends to clothing, bicycles, surfboards, cars.  I am intrigued by most everything, and I love attempting to create, alter, invent, and repair all that I can.

I hope to explore new places, meet new people, gain knowledge and insight on many new things, and mostly enjoy. I find that whatever is going on in your life, one of the greatest feelings is making something with your own two hands.  A few things I wish to accomplish on these adventures are to become an amazing cook.  I do realize this does not happen overnight and perhaps it will take me 40 years or more, but you gotta start somewhere, and you are welcome to join me.  I would love to be able to sew my own amazingly fashionable clothes...correction, become an amazing fashion designer, (let's not limit ourselves right out of the gate), and learn how to diagnose and repair my car 100% (yes, I get this may sound strange). I may not be able to do all of the work myself, but I will be able to do all of the little things, and be knowledgable when I do have to take the car in, and if by chance, along the way, I invent an amazing hybrid that goes 100mpg, then so be it.   I will surely have to start small but I am excited at the prospects of achieving these things, and the fun I will have getting there, disasters and all!

I would love if you would join me on these adventures (successes AND failures).

My site is still in the process of being created, so please excuse it's simplicity.  If you have any questions, comments, or project ideas, please feel free to contact me!

Let's MAKE SOMETHING together!
