Hi, I’m Marie.
I started TibilisFil because I kept sending my friends the same links: DIY tutorials I’d found at 2am, room makeover ideas I’d bookmarked and never tried, craft supply recommendations nobody asked for but everybody needed. Eventually someone said, “Why don’t you just make a blog?” So here we are.
I live in a small flat in Europe with too many houseplants, a sewing machine I’m still learning to use properly, and a paint-stained dining table that doubles as my craft studio. I’m not a professional designer or a trained crafter. I’m someone who figured out, mostly through trial and error, that making things with your hands is one of the best ways to quiet a noisy mind.
What You’ll Find Here
This is a creative lifestyle blog. That means you’ll find:
- DIY & Craft tutorials — real projects I’ve actually made, with honest notes about what worked and what was a complete disaster
- Home décor ideas — budget-friendly ways to make a rented flat feel like yours, even when you can’t touch the walls
- Lifestyle content — self-care routines, creative hobbies, and the kind of low-key practical advice that doesn’t require you to overhaul your entire life
- Entertainment picks — the shows, apps, and platforms I turn to when I need to switch off
Everything here comes from personal experience. If I recommend something, I’ve used it. If I share a tutorial, I’ve made the thing. If something didn’t work, I’ll tell you that too.
Why “TibilisFil”?
It’s a long story involving a misheard word, a late-night naming session, and a domain that happened to be available. Let’s just say it stuck.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something useful, or at least something that makes you want to pick up a glue gun.
