Five things I’d forgotten about newborns

  1. They roll their eyes in a creepy way sometimes when they sleep. It’s like they’re possessed! Demon babies! Eeek!
  2. Their poo doesn’t really stink, but it does have a smell.
  3. Their legs are so crazy-skinny.
  4. They don’t respond to your questions, or even smile yet. It’s kind of unrewarding to talk to them at this stage.
  5. They are impossibly squishy-soft and delicious to snuggle.

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.
