Eeps!

Just saw this picture, and — like any child-less adult — was properly horrified. Kids can do stuff like that??? Oh. My. God.
Thank goodness there was a fix!

  2. Oh yeah…kids can do that and more! In fact, one of my toddlers took a piece of American cheese this morning and smeared it all over my $300 area rug this morning. Good times.

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog last week on my SITS day! I hope you'll be back!

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m journalist and blogger in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have an 9-year-old son and a 7-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 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.

Well, the weather outside ISN’T frightful (yet at least) but school is cancelled anyway. This little princess was so sad because it meant her Christmas concert is postponed. So we compromised by doing a little photo shoot by the tree. I mean, you can’t waste freshly-curled hair and a touch of makeup. . . Remember when I sewed this dress a few weeks ago? Check out the IGTV video to see it come together from a pile of fabric and thread. . . #sewing #sewingforkids #handmadeclothing #christmasconcert #velvet #christmasdress Yes, I do! . . . #quilting #creativelife #christmasornaments #christmastree This little fur pouf cost me just $9 to make, using faux fur and a thrifted footstool. Full tutorial over on the blog today! . . . #DIY #handmade #homedecor #DIYhomedecor #livingroom #cozy #hygge #pouf #diyhome I spent hours woodworking this morning and it felt great to be back at it — after what felt like months of just sewing and painting. Handmade Christmas gifts, coming right up! . . . #woodworking #craftsman #webuildpride #womenwithpowertools #allthesawdust #building #handmade #wood Once I finished my impasto flowers, I had to decide what to do next! I settled on trying another portrait — yikes — except this one is going to be in a more abstract, impasto style. . . In this week’s class I did the “underpainting” which is just laying on a base layer of colour. . . I’ve always loved this photo of my babies, back when they could both fit in a grocery cart baby seat! . . #oilpainting #oilpaintings #workinprogress #artclass #underpainting #underpaintinginprogress My painting has been safely delivered to the @marigoldcentre and will be on display tomorrow (Dec. 4) through Dec. 19. . . I can’t wait to see it on the wall. It’s called “Bloom Where You’re Planted” and it’s the third oil painting I’ve done with my class (first two were lemons and the kids, as seen in my “Oil Painting” highlight reel). . . This one is my first impasto piece, which means the paint is THICK and you can see brush strokes / palette knife work. . . I really loved making it — except those times when I cursed the leaves! — so it won’t be my last impasto. . . Scroll to see the unique way I “signed” the painting — technically the frame — using my 3D pen! . . If you’re local, go say hi to it! 🥰 . . #oilpainting #ecmmedia #painting #impastopainting #beginnerpainter #floralpainting #paintedflowers #artshow #marigoldcentre #trurons #truro
