Kris Howard — Longtime blogger and tech professional in Sydney
Personal blog going back 25+ years from an American-Australian woman living in Sydney. Posts about food, travel, knitting and sewing, tech, entertainment, and FIRE/early retirement.
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.
Written by Kris Howard since 2000.

Rain

Darn it
I bought a darning mushroom last year and tried it out for the first time today. A bit of a bodge, but it’ll do!
Alexander’s Outing Walk 🦆🦆🦆
Awww, this is very cute. If you’re visiting the Sydney CBD, be sure to check out the Alexander’s Outing Walk. This is a family-friendly walk that visits the places mentioned in Pamela Allen’s beautiful book Alexander’s Outing. The book is about a family of ducks that walk from the Sydney Botanic Garden to Hyde Park, and how little Alexander gets himself into a bit of trouble! (I was lucky enough to get an autographed copy when Allen visited Sydney last year.) I like that...
The Surgeon’s Mate
I finally finished Book 7 in Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin series tonight. (Why has no one turned this into a prestige television series yet??)

I was grinning as the plot raced to its conclusion—Babbington!!—and I cheered when I reached that perfectly wonderful ending. It was literally five minutes later when I suddenly realised the signif...
