web-goddess.orgKris Howard has been blogging since 2000 — a quarter century of sewing projects, gallery visits, cooking experiments, and life in Sydney. web-goddess is a true personal blog in the classic sense: unapologetically eclectic, richly documented with photos, and written in a warm, funny voice that makes you feel like you're catching up with a friend. No AI, no algorithms, just a person sharing what they're making and thinking about.
