Stacking items with flexbox

In my header, I'm trying to put my name in the middle item below the first item "brush up". I've tried justify-content and align-items and just can't get it to move. I also want the navigation to stay on the right side. New to flexbox thank you for any help.

.container {
  display: flex;
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 960px;
  flex-direction: column;
}


/* HEADER SECTION***************************************/

header {
  width: 100%;
  height: 8vh;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  outline: 1px solid red;
}

header * {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  display: block;
}

header h1 {
  outline: 1px solid red;
  height: 50px;
  flex: 3;
}

header p {
  flex: 2;
  outline: 1px solid red;
  height: 25px;
  align-items: baseline;
}

header ul {
  flex: 1;
  justify-content: flex-end;
  outline: 1px solid red;
  list-style-type: none;
}

header ul li {
  margin: 0 0.5em;
}
<header>
  <h1>Brushing up</h1>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">project 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">project 2</a></li>
  </ul>
</header>

If this is not the result you want, consider explaining more clearly exactly what you're trying to achieve. Since we're talking about styling, a picture would help.
