They get totally sore when you’re newly pregnant
Then they get all vein-y. Seriously — they look like a road map. Hawt.
In preparation for giving birth, the nipples get creepy-dark so they stand out better to your semi-blind little baby — it’s like you’re a human bulleye
Your nipples can crack and bleed during those first few days of nursing (that was me — ow, ow, ow!)
They hurt (like a bitch!) when your milk comes in. Nothing sexier than crying, “Aughh! Don’t touch me!” at your husband

And what about when your baby starts pinching and pulling on those nipples and stretch the skin – yeah, sexy talk 😉

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.)
