Hannah Mercer

Hannah is a mother of three who believes creativity should feel peaceful, affordable, and doable for everyone — even on the messiest day. She spent years organizing community craft nights and homeschool art activities before putting her ideas online.

Her projects use everyday materials, and her instructions never assume you know what you are doing (because half the fun is figuring it out together). She specializes in simple projects that fit into busy family life.

Outside of crafting, Hannah is baking sourdough, hiking trails with her kids, and collecting pinecones for the next seasonal project.
