This post’s alternate title should be: Better late than never. Because who wants to make a Christmas craft on December 27, seriously?
Alas, here they are. I made a few cute projects this month — and shared them over in my weekly DIY column, My Handmade Home — so I decided to share them here, too. 
Maybe you can pin it for next fall, when you’re actually interested in making something Christmas-y? IDK. Sorry.

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.
