Yes. It’s happened. We sold the condo. As of today, it is official.
I have no idea what it going to happen next, but instead of being scared, I am excited … well, and a little scared, too.

  2. Wow, congratulations, I know its been a long time coming! Our place is still for sale and now Husband and I are going through a divorce so it's more important than ever to sell. Here's hoping that this post is a good omen for us too!

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m journalist and blogger in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have an 8-year-old son and a 6-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.

Yesterday’s blog post also included details on how I made this ENORMOUS piece of wall art with 704 teeny fabric squares. . . . Unlike the other piece (in my last Insta pic) this one DOES require sewing. It’s a great way to use up fabric scraps. . . . #linkinbio #sewing #wallart #fabric #fabricart #quilting #quiltsofinstagram #postagestampquilt #rainbow #color #colours Today on the blog I’m revealing how I made two HUGE pieces of fabric wall art — and only one of them required any sewing (not this one). . . . #DIY #fabric #wallart #fabricwallart #kona #robertkaufman #robertkaufmanfabrics #handmade #diyhomedecor #ecmmedia Did you catch my post from the other day about my DIY dog seat belt? @annabellenessa is snuggled up in it right now, happy as can be — even though she has permanent bitchy resting face! 😉 . . . Full details over on the blog! Did I mention there’s NO sewing required? It’s a two-second project. . . . #dogs #DIY #dogseatbelt #ridingincarswithdogs #doglove #bostonterrier #chocolatebostonterrier #ilovemydog #diydog #ecmmedia Talk about a blast from the past! Want to see the DIY airplane-themed nursery I decorated for D back in 2010? We're talking BEFORE PINTEREST, you guys! . . . Pop over to the blog and search “airplane nursery” for every detail. . . . ✈️ ✈️ ✈️ . . . I remember decorating this room so clearly! It was a tiny room in our Bedford condo, and he didn't have closet (or a dresser, at first) because it was stuffed with all of my craft and sewing supplies. . . . Oh, how excited I was to be painting clouds on the walls and sewing crib bedding for my soon-to-be-born little guy! Hope you enjoy the tour of his first bedroom! xo . . . #nursery #DIY #DIYnursery #babyboy #airplanes #airlinefamily #handmade #sewing #homedecor #nurserydecor #nurseryinspo #babyboy It drives my husband crazy that I always save my wood scraps — er, just like I save my fabric scraps — because I know I can use them for something. But then I mostly ... don’t. . . . I had an awesome idea for a wood scrap project recently and started by chopping the scraps into specific dimensions. (Anything leftover — too small to saw without also sawing off my fingers — went to my friend who has a wood stove!) . . . Here’s one of THREE bins of neatly chopped scraps. Who can guess what I’m going to make them with? 😜 . . . #sneakpeek #woodworking #woodscraps #reuse #DIY #ecmmedia #handmade Finally got around to sort of hanging my first oil painting! 🍋 My husband thinks he’s pretty funny because he spins it around daily and leaves it upside down until I notice 🍋 . . . #handmade #oilpainting #stilllife #lemons #chalkboard
