a little diy never hurt nobody

or did it? so about two months ago i started a diy project on an old pair of red BDG denim jeans i never wear anymore. it was a really simple project that i thought would take no more than an hour.. but boy, was i wrong!
i started off with studding the belt loops with black pyramid studs, three on each loop. then i placed a few more studs on the upper part of the front pockets.. the easy part was done. i took a pair of scissors and started slashing the jeans, and then.. i slit my thumb open. it was a really bad cut and i was bleeding non stop. i get so queezy in the sight of blood. and especially if its my own blood, i almost always cry.. which i did, of course. it was pretty embarrassing because a friend was over and i was getting hysterical over what probably seemed to him a mere papercut. -sigh- so a month and a half later, i gathered up enough courage to pick up the scissors again, and finish my project. what should have taken an hour ended up taking a month and a half to finish.. lol but i am pretty happy with the results. :)
i hope that didnt discourage any of you, because to be honest, i really am just clumsy by nature..
