I want to be a basketball girl!

Met the CUTEST little pregnant girl tonight. 

She was a total basketball girl. At first, I didn’t even realize that she was pregnant. Then she swung around and I saw the huge-o bump.
Of course, I was around my colleagues, so I couldn’t very well act like my usual preggo groupie self! I played it cool, asked when she was due — TWO WEEKS, holy — and complimented her on being a basketball girl. 
She totally knew what I meant, and appreciated the compliment, but everyone else looked at me strangely.
I want to be a basketball girl! But I fear that only skinny girls actually end up being basketball girls. And when you have curves to begin with, you might just look like yourself … only rounder. 
NOTE TO SELF: When the time comes, belt dresses and loose tops above the bump (as shown above) — might make me look more pregnant and less french-fry-lovin’.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-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 it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, 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 as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
