I hit the pacas, or thrift markets, the other day with Irving. The plan was to get some big clothes that would be used as fabric to add a strip to my jeans to make them trendier fit better. In the end, I didn´t find anything that would work with jeans, but I did find [...]

In a Revamp Mood

I´ve been in a weird mood lately. Not so much interested in writing, but really into doing stuff with my hands. There are a lot of things that are really bugging me about the house and so I´ve decided to actually do something about them.
