A layout of my adorable nephew running around in his hockey robe.  He wouldn’t stay still so this was the best pic I could get of him!  The photo was created with Instagram and Instaquote apps on my phone.

I used my Studio Calico Block Party kit for this one

I hadn-cut an arrow and pieced it together, then added vellum arrows from my stash

A rare opportunity to use a boy “potty people”

Wood veneer and enamel dots are my go-to embellishments these days

Mercy Tiara

Mercy Tiara

You may be wondering who is Mercy Tiara, and why the name? MercyTiara is an anagram of my first and middle names, Tracy Marie. I discovered this name in the 90's in grad school when we were all coming up with alter egos for one another in a lab one day. I've used it ever since, but you can call me Tracy or MercyTiara, or anything you want... just don't call me late for supper!
