Welcome to terribly crafty.

Hello there, fellow makers, mess-makers, and curious clickers!

Welcome to terribly crafty — my happy little corner of the internet where glue sticks, vinyl scraps, and wayward weeding tools reign supreme. If you’re here for perfect projects and colour-coded craft rooms… you might be terribly lost. But if you’re here for real talk, real fun, and real craftiness (with a splash of imperfection), then you’ve absolutely found your people.

This blog started the way many great crafting stories do — with a Christmas surprise. Back in 2021, my husband gifted me a Cricut Maker 3, probably unaware that he was unleashing a whole new identity in the household (and possibly a minor adhesive crisis). At the time, I didn’t really do hobbies — academia, parenting, and adulting had left very little space for glitter and creative experiments. But that little machine nudged me into a world I didn’t know I was missing.

Since then, I’ve been cutting, sticking, pressing, weeding, and occasionally swearing my way through countless projects. Some turned out beautifully. Others… well, let’s call them “learning moments.” And now, I’m here to share the journey — the wins, the wobbles, the workarounds — because crafting should be fun, not flawless.

So what can you expect from terribly crafty? Think tutorials that don’t take themselves too seriously, honest reviews, messy middle moments, and creative inspiration that feels doable — even on a Tuesday night with three loads of washing waiting. If you’ve got a Cricut (or you’re Cricut-curious), a sense of humour, and a soft spot for handmade chaos, you’re in the right place.

Let’s make some stuff — terribly, creatively, crafty.
