I've always had a love for crafting. But in a tiny NYC apartment, there wasn't much room for it. So one day I thought of a perfect way to make my hobby and lack of space work. My husband encouraged me to pursue my passions, and for that, I am truly grateful. My blog and shop name come from a cute idea we had long ago of combing our last names. We ended up using the initials H and G, and after realizing Hg was the chemical symbol for Mercury. And as we are both STEM teachers, nothing seemed more perfect. Thus Mercury Made was born. We were married in the fall of 2015, and through planning our wedding I had ample opportunity to try out some new arts and crafts.
In 2019, we became parents. It’s been an amazing and hard journey. I have been so inspired by respectful and Montessori parenting, that I’ve decided to share some of that with you too.
I hope you enjoy my work.
