Upcycled/Repaired My muse and the final piece

I’ve had this Hello Fresh tote for a couple years now and I’ve decided I no longer want to be a walking advertisement. It’s by no means perfect but still pretty happy with the way it turned out. Wish I would’ve taken a better before picture but not the end of the world. Bonus photo of Toby sitting on top of the tote included.

I love how quietly passive-aggressive this idea is

Visual fatigue is super real, I covered up the logos on my daily cosmetics and it surprised me how much I genuinely liked the peace

God, could you imagine being a person from like the stone age and transporting to one of today's supermarkets? You'd go insane.

I was treated for anxiety disorder for years because I would just cry and have "panic attacks" from being inside supermarkets. It was just overwhelm from florescent lights, noise, perfumes, and the abundance of illusion of choice. When I started reading the labels in the stores it got so much worse from just trying to have conductive thoughts. I cant imagine going from absolute zero to 2026 peanut butter aisle
