Sall the Crafty Baker

This is my very first paper bag album that I will have made from scratch.  I do love it and I will be making more of these but the pages aren't perfect so if anyone has some tips please please leave them in the comments.  Anyway rather than me rambling here is the paper bag album.

I have no idea if these are wild flowers or not...but I don't remember them being planted! Anyway feel free to discard this from the  mmm challenge

make my monday challenge

Ok so I haven't done much recently as I've been to unwell but in the last 10days I have done made a couple pieces of jewellery.  I'm not overly good at this but I spied these beads during the hobbycraft order and fell in love with them! Ok and now for the  Make My Monday blog challenge. As ever I have found that I have interpreted the theme to suit what I want to do and actually this time it's not about the challenge but more me enjoying the photos and what I did with them!

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!
