Kiddie parties, chevron walls, and making mom-friends

Posted on May 19, 2014 by heatherlauraclarke

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 …

The super-awesome rain gutter bookshelves

How I stalk people, er, make mom-friends

We went away overnight for Easter and this is what I had to say about it (hint: arghhhhhhh)

All about the chevron bathroom!

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-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. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, 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’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
