Unexpected findings

I have very limited time on the net. The number of my favourite links is only 2 digits. These are a few that I stumbled upon that I felt worth sharing.

Looking for recipes?

A website with heavy traffic is always good. I like to see what other people says about the recipes. Especially love the little text bubble that appears when your cursor moves over the title of a review. Saves downloading time, good for impatient surfer like me.

Looking for handmade craft or searching for inspiration?

Like ebay, but selling only handmade things.

Crochet Poet's Treasure Box

I have known how to crochet for a very long time. The fact that knitting is more popular than crocheting alway made me sad. Crocheting patterns are harder to come by than knitting patterns. So this website is really a treasure box to me.

A dress a day

I love dresses. That why.

This is not a website that I frequented. Just stumbled upon it and can't help falling in love with the layout and the writing. Try moving your cursor over the teapot. The writing is humorous, informative and persuasive. A terrific example of a good web page.

习作


通常我拍照是应时或应景的,即记录某事或某景。不久前看杂志,看到作者列出十个练习项目,让读者们自己去练习。我今天就抱着试验的心态,随地乱拍。
上图是送阿满上学时,在学校对面,我停车的地方拍的。阳光由右前方照射过来。别问我快门多少,用自动mode拍的。很想自己调校,可是相机的手册不知丢哪去了。

Autumn Leaves


Autumn is thundering in like a storm. Before I have time to pick up my camera, half of all the leaves have gone.
This was what I managed to capture yesterday. Played around a teeny bit with Photoshop and came up with my new profile photo.
Hope you like it.

个人空间

搬家,纷乱一阵后,开始慢慢沉淀下来。东西逐个安好位置,人也揣摩出最适合自己的角落。

阿满是最快安顿的一个。我在厨房里忙着的时候,他通常就这样坐着玩,好像实验室里正在做实验的人。

爸爸最喜欢露台,黄昏时,常常站在哪儿看他自己铺的草坪。阿晨和我,还在慢慢摸索。
有研究说,在一个家庭里,母亲往往是唯一没有个人空间的。我想想自己的情形,果然是。想要独处的时候,最理想的去处竟然是浴室。
