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?
