This time next year …

It is early on the morning of Father’s Day. Darling Husband is still sleeping.

I can’t help but wonder if next year, I will be making breakfast in bed for a brand-new Daddy …
… Mashing our baby’s fat little hand into some finger paint, and pressing it onto a construction-paper card …
… Buying him some power tool he has mentioned — this week, it was a sandy-grindy-dealio, so it’s too bad we can’t celebrate Father’s Day just yet …
… Sending him off for golf with the guys, while our baby watches me prepare (or order) a special Father’s Day dinner …
… Finding little ways to let Darling Husband know that he is an incredible father, year-round.
Because he will be. I know it.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
