  • All of my hang-around-the-house yoga pants are in pristine condition, and none of them have holes — especially not ghetto holes in the CROTCH (which lead to all kinds of “easy access” jokes from Darling Husband
  • Ditto with my hang-around-the-house leggings
  • My favourite tees are ultra-fancy and expensive. Of course I would never fall in love with cheapo $4 tees from Joe Fresh … and alternate between them as much as possible.
  • As a stay-at-home mom, my wardrobe of “casual clothes” is pretty much perfect, and all of the items are in such good condition that I don’t need to do any clothes-shopping right now. Like immediately. Nope, no way.

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.

Today on the blog, I’m talking about #Santa 🎅🏻 and believing and all of the hard stuff that comes along with that ... 🎄 🎄 🎄 #parenting #christmas #santa #believeinsanta #momlife It would be cool to curl up in my comfy chair and just HOOK but instead I’m sitting in my different-but-also-comfy office desk and WRITING because hookin’ doesn’t pay the bills 🤪 (Well, um ... I guess some hooking does!) . . . #rughooking #beginnerhooker #fibreart #flowers It’s been a few years since we painted our dining room hutches, and we still love the brightness they bring to our main level. . . . (Full story over on the blog if you search “hutch.”) . . . Also these “twins” didn’t even realize I’d dressed them in shirts sewn from the same fabric! 😂 . . . #paintedfurniture #diyhomedecor #farmhousestyle #ecmmedia My eyes were burning last night from too many consecutive hours glued to my computer monitors, researching and writing. So I took a super hot bath (a little too hot actually) and this sign above the corner caught my eye when I stepped out. I can (and do) tell myself these things OVER AND OVER, but it’s incredibly hard to practice what I preach. . . . #handpaintedsign #diydecor #takeabreak #begentlewithyourself #ecmmedia 🌟🌟🌟 I *never* iron clothes (I dig the rumpled look) but pressing cross-stitches is actually kind of fun. Thanks for the tips, @redhandledscissors! . . . ✂️✂️✂️ . . . #impropercrossstitch #patterndesign #crossstitch #handmade
