You’ve seen the various “make your own moon sand” and “easy homemade kinetic sand” posts on Pinterest, but have you tried them?
Well … I did, so you don’t have to!
Head over to my monthly kid-friendly DIY column, This DIY House, to see how it all went down (and if I’d recommend you whip up a batch, or run screaming in the other direction).

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
