Just popping in quickly to share this weekend’s project in The Chronicle Herald (available online, too).

I made these cute photo canvases for our dining room, because I pretty much had a STROKE when I saw how much the professional versions cost.

Psssst, I even show you the trick for getting the canvas texture that the professional ones have. Check it out, will you?

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.

Sometimes the pretty Insta pictures sit lonesome in your camera roll until you remember that, oh, right, you haven’t posted on Instagram in days. . . . There is more I could say about Insta and its pressures for pretty pictures, no matter the backstory, but right now I’m tired soooooo ... . . . Hot chocolate with whipped cream in a rose mug I sculpted in #pottery class! Taken days and days ago, naturally, because what is this platform if not totally not natural? ☕️🤫 Our aloe plant decided to jump off its shelf this morning, so I changed things up. 🌱 . . . (It’s still sitting sadly in the sink until I take the time later to re-pot and re-home it.) 🤭 . . . Happy snowy Monday, internet pals! . . . #simplicity #shelfie #kitchen #modernfarmhouse #chalkboardquote I was very slack about posting here on Insta over the holidays, soooo here’s a peek at a room I worked on — and shared at the very end of 2018. My Handy Husband and I were in and out in under three hours, and I LOVE how the custom desks and ledges turned out. 😍 . . . #linkinbio #kidsrooms #homedecor #organization #ecmmedia For the sixth year in a row, I partied in my basement home office because FREELANCE LIFE, you know? . . . This year’s #selfemployed Christmas party for one didn’t exactly run like the five precious years though ... . . . #newpost #linkinbio #freelance #freelancelife #writerlife #ecmmedia My office is LIT these days, you guys! 💡💡💡 . . . The brightest post ☀️ is over on the blog today, and you’re probably gonna need shades 😎 (I think those are all of the lighting puns I can make before a second cup of tea) . . . #sengledelement #danceparty #smartbulb #socool #ecmmedia Two snazzy kids dressed up for their (four!) Christmas concerts at school this week. . . . #sewingforkids #handmadeclothing #handmadechristmas #shwindesigns #ecmmedia
