Crafting before school = chaos
Mar 21, 2026 8:29 pm
Hey ,
Tuesday morning started at 4:30 AM.
Not because I’m a morning person....But because I fell asleep before finishing my kids’ St. Patrick’s Day shirts.
I thought it would be a quick "cut and press."
It was a total system failure.
Here’s the breakdown of everything that went wrong:
- The heat press wasn’t hot enough (vinyl started lifting).
- I forgot to mirror the design (classic 4:00 AM mistake).
- My Cricut decided it didn't want to "connect" to Bluetooth.
- I ripped the design during a frantic weeding session.
- The heat press kept tripping the breaker.
There were definitely a few curse words involved.
Despite all that I was able to pivot and fix every.single.issue
By 6:15 AM, the shirts were done.
My son loved his. My daughter informed me hers "should’ve been green instead of black."
Honestly... she’s right.
But seeing them walk into school wearing something I designed and made? That’s the win.
But I have to know... am I the only one who ends up in the '4:00 AM Club' because of a last-minute project?
