When I’m not hanging out around Laptops to Lullabies, wiping kiddie bums, or watching old TV shows on Netflix (Darling Husband and I just started season two of 24 — we’re kinda behind the times), I’m usually working at my “afternoon” job — writing articles, columns, and just about anything else people will let me write.

Here are a few things that were published over the last couple of weeks, if you’re so inclined …

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.

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 When you save every scrap of fabric, eventually it’s time to empty the overflowing scrap bin and trim the random bits into tidy squares for future quilting. . . . #wastenot #fabricscraps #sewinglife #reuse #ecmmedia
