After months of keeping it a secret, I’m excited to finally be sharing C’s new quilt today! It was the biggest quilt I’ve ever sewn, and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
I’ve got the full tutorial over in my weekly DIY column, My Handmade Home, if you want to see the details …

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.

It’s super functional and I’ve been using the first couple of versions all over the house. . . . #woodworking #DIY #handmade #sneakpeek #womenwithpowertools #ecmmedia I exploded one day to my husband, annoyed by yet another attempt to keep our daughter's bedroom reasonable. “She needs a bunch of bins where she can shove all her random crap, and I don’t even care what’s in there as long as it’s off her floor!” . . . Our six-year-old daughter really struggles to keep her room reasonable, and while I subscribe to the notion of "A place for everything, and everything in its place," sometimes there just ISN'T a place for everything. . . . Junky Happy Meal toys she insists on keeping. A million sheets of paper with "important" notes or drawings. Random bits from board games that she uses as toys. Small toys she can never be bothered to put away properly. "Special" erasers. Play money. . . . Now she has a place to SHOVE IT ALL, QUICKLY and get it OFF THE FLOOR! 🙌 Full tutorial over on the blog today! #linkinbio . . . #parenting #organization #DIY #kids #woodworking #kidsroomdecor #kidsroom #toystorage #isntthatdarling #girlsroom #girlsroomdecor We are pretty obsessed with #LEGO around here, so these DIY hooks are 🙌 . . .
