Welcome!

Welcome to my creative sharing place. I love to make things and I would like to share the things I make. I have a Flickr Gallery where I can share a lot of my work but some of it can't be shared there. So I created this blog where I can share anything.

June 2009 RAKScraps Quick Pages

Welcome to the hopefully new and improved Creative Indulgences. I have been looking at other blogs and getting ideas about how I want this blog to look. So far I haven't had many visitors but that COULD happen and in the mean time I will have a gallery for my Quick Pages and other things. These first two are based on the June Mega-kit at RAKScraps

You have two options. You can click on each picture to download that page or click on the download link to download both of them at the same time.

March 30, 2009

I spent most of last month uploading photos for other people but I'm back and I have managed to make a few things. Some for fun and some in answer to challenges from the various scrapbook sites I belong to. Only a couple of ATC's though mainly I've been doing scrap book pages.

There are 8 new ATC's for trade and 12 scrapbook pages on my Flickr account. I'm only going to share a couple of them here.

This has to be my favorite ATC. It came to me in a flash. DesertChristmas


And of all the scrapbook pages I did this month I think these are my favorite two:

Feb 23, 2009

I have been very busy this week. I decided that I was going to do several challenges over at Gotta Pixel and do my two favorite RAKScraps challenges at RAKscraps. I also joined and completed a few swaps at Swap-bot. I'll get to the photos in a bit.

Knitting wise I've just been killing time this week. I had a bag of blue yarns & decided I was going to make a hat & scarf set from them. The scarf is complete and the hat needs finishing but it is knit. Since I still had some yarn I knit up a square that I'll use in an afghan one of these days.

The thing is I still have some of that yarn left and I'm running out of month. The goal of course being to use up all of the skiens that were in the bag, who knew there was so much yarn in there. Since there were only five skiens in there I thought it would be easy except that I used #15 US needles so I didn't use up as much as I thought I would.

I am torn between seeing how many more things I can knit out of this one bag of yarn and moving onto another one. One of my goals in 2009 is to empty the top shelf of my yarn cupboard so I can maybe buy some nicer stuff than the acrylic I'm using.

The Dishcloth of the Month... sigh... I messed up by using a multi when I should have used a solid for the first one & the second one starts with "Use a long tail cast on". I do not know how to do that and then there are several instructions I don't understand in the body so it's on hold until I either get to a stitch & bitch or I screw up enough courage to try.

Now for some pictures. None of the knitting of course but lots of scrapbook pages & ATC's

RAKfile ATC Challenge
First up is this ATC for the RAKscraps ATC challenge.

Font-GP-0209
This was a font challenge and it seemed to suit the subject of this image perfectly.

I have done several question type email swaps at swap bot & will be adding my answers to my listography page later on today. They were quite a bit of fun. I have four ATC swaps to complete for the next two week & will add them after I send them. For a sneak preview you can always go to my Flickr page & see them & a lot of my other work,
