Then (while assembling Baby Boy’s highchair): “The tray is dishwasher-safe? What? Why would anyone want to fill up half their dishwasher with this thing when you could just wipe it off?

Now (after many, many solid-food feedings): “%$#! It’s not coming off! Why is cereal like %$!ing glue? And why is the tray orange-tinged? … Oh … Now I understand why it’s dishwasher-safe.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m journalist and blogger in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 10-year-old son and an 8-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 working on my novel, 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.
