  1. You have an insatiable desire to clean, organize, decorate and nest BUT lack the energy in which to do it all yourself …
  2. … and the ability to lift and move heavy stuff
  3. … and the abilty to paint because of fumes and crap
  4. … and the rational ability to STOP when you are tired because IT MUST BE DONE OMG
  5. Your husband* gets super-annoyed at your sobbing about the MESS everywhere, how much longer do we have to live in this CHAOS of UNHUNG PICTURES and UNPAINTED walls and UNORGANIZED bookcases THE HORROR!

*But really … it’s serious to us
(Please please PLEASE set up the bookcases before my head explodes)

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.

Sewing giant hair bows while watching the third Twilight movie = relaxation unlocked. 🎀 . . . #sewing #sewingforkids #hairbows #handmadegift #ecmmedia I made this fall wreath using two embroidery hoops, and now I want to make ALL THE HOOP WREATHS. Pop over to the blog to see step-by-step photos! . . . #linkinbio #falldecor #fall #embroidery #ecmmedia The first coat of an oil painting is always ... really, really in need of more coats. 🎨 . . . #oilpainting #paintinginprogress #handmadegift #ecmmedia Second day in a row I’ve taken @annabellenessa on an hour-long walk in the beautiful park that’s practically in our side yard. 🍁🌲🍂 . . . Normally @younghouselove just inspires me to choose white decor, buy vintage-style rugs, and paint walls Revere Pewter or Edgecomb Grey 😂 but thanks to #Walktober I’m getting outside with the three-dimensional people. 🚶‍♀️ . . . #victoriapark #trurons #trurobuzz #novascotia Feeling very thankful, indeed! 🍏🥧 #happythanksgiving Our main level is all open-concept which meant ONE paint colour -- except I wanted to be a rebel and use two, soooooo 🤔 . . . Yesterday’s post is all about how I "divided" up our main level for 40 bucks! 😯 . . . #linkinbio #diy #homedecor #modernfarmhouse #ecmmedia
