As you can see I obviously didn't have all the nice gadgets like an egg cup nor cracker, but it turned out fine. I also toasted small slices of baguette and broke them apart after--it may have been easier to slice them beforehand, but they were already quite tiny. Messy & simplified version, but yielding the same results: Yummy. So of course you...

still ridiculously unclean and imperfect... but I'm just testing out different "styles" and learning at the same time. So I made another zipper clutch, just larger than the first one I posted last week. The first time, I was too much in a rush (and didn't have the material) to line it.

FROM THIS:  TO THIS: Okay, I lied, it's not even pleather. Honestly, I don't know what it is, but I all you have to know is that I could not afford the real deal and the pleather design/colors were not cute--so I went for the next best thing. Anyhow, so this is the gift I made for my friend's birthday! Unfortunately, it was...

I went to the Bamboo Lounge in Hillcrest for brunch to celebrate my friend's 23rd birthday. It was only my second time there, the first time being exactly one year ago for the same friend's 22nd!
