About

My initial inspiration to create website came from my interest in craft work. In year 2001 or 2002, I had money to buy my first computer and install my internet connection. From my PC,  I was able to connect to all over the world. I was filled with amazement as crafters all over the world create websites to share their works. That inspired me to built my website in November 02 using Geocities. Eventually, that interest led me to a career working with websites and blogging, as you would invariably see with the number of blogs that I’ve built up.

Years have passed- my interest have moved on to other areas such as writing, working on my website and research into areas of health and fitness. Still, whenever I come across an article or a site by another creative being, I feel recharged. I will keep newspaper articles on craft and surf websites looking at creative works of others. But over the years, the resources grew and I find that I have problem keeping records of them. Newspaper articles, some which have been years old, have turned yellow. Through changing PCs, I’ve also lost bookmarks of some of my favourite craft sites.

It is then I figured, a better way of doing it is to compile and make the information available not only to myself, but to craft lovers out there. The newspaper articles are mostly available online and with a link, I can reduce the paper clutter. If not, I can snap a photograph of it and try to look for the artistan’s website/blog online. And with Categories section, I can have all my favourite crafts and works of creativity filed systematically. With this, I create a dedicated blog to track and document sites and articles that I want to check back again and again. To me, it’s more effective than cutting articles and pasting it into books or journals.

In this site you will find a picture or two of the creativity works of a crafter or artist. The source will be clearly indicated with a link pointing back to the source. The picture will act as a reminder to me on the site as well as my readers – as most of us will want to have a little preview before clicking on the links.
