Sall the Crafty Baker

Firstly I feel I ought to apologize to those who are only interested in the challenge part of this post but I wish to share the beading with a friend and this is the most effective way.  If you do not wish me to combine posts {because it will mean they will be chatty and general rather than the 'specific' challenge ones I generally do} please leave me a comment. Secondly I have a new blog, please come check it out at  Scrumptious Delights I have over the weekend {now I can see again with new glasses} dug out my beads and as you do on cold wet April days begun beading Christmas Decorations once more.  This lot is, umm, slightly harder than the previous beaded decorations I have made and the process came with lots of choice words and the binning of a certain amount of wire.  However, I have found a personal way of developing my beading.  I am none too keen on the thinner more flexible wire.  I have a tendency to break it and of course it isn't as easily...

This is very um ecentric i think is the word for an entry into male sports and hobbies but then I think the nicest way to refer to certain members of my family would be ecentric so here goes.  This is my grandad's hobby I use hobby in the loosest sense of the word because it's very unsusual I also say it's my grandad's hobby but given that he is 81 and heading fast towards 82 this hobby of breeding ducks and geese is fast becoming mine and my dad's hobby too!  Anyway here is the MMM Challenge!

Make My Monday Challenge And for anyone who {unlike me} didn't give up before this point I STILL cannot get these stupid pics to turn the right way around!  I've done it i've found it, it appears the photo's were too big and scaling them down makes them the right way around!

I'm not very good at following instructions and usually tend to break rules, which is probably why I have done this rather 'odd' entry for the MMM blog Challenge  and much to my annoyance I cannot work out how to rotate my image, sorry folks!  Ok, so I tried the info from Cazz, it didn't work the image is the right way up in my folder thingy just turns itself when I put it on here. :S  This is why I shouldn't blog!!!!!!!

1} How do I get glitter/glossy accents to show up when taking a photo? 2} How do I get ink to show up on grungepaper? Make My Monday Challenge

Hi my name is Sall and I’m the crafty baker.   I have crafted since I was a child and became more serious about it when I was 15.   I didn’t really know what it meant then but I did enjoy putting different things together and seeing the pleasure when that card was given to someone…especially someone who appreciated the effort as well as the fact it contained part of my heart and soul.    I have tried and enjoyed card making, scrapbooking,  Cut and Craft 3d templates , bag making, sewing, box making, altering/decorating things, decoupatch and am loving becoming more familiar with the darker side of crafting.  I have dabbled in jewellery too. I don’t feel I am just a crafter though because creativity takes over every part of my life.   I love moving the furniture around in my home and giving it an entirely new look for very little cost.   I’m a kitchen girl and spend a lot of time baking.   Baking is just another part of my c...
