New Embroidery for the month of July

The weather has been in my thoughts recently. Rather, I was day dreaming when it occurs to me that we are counting down to days from the Beijing Olympic. With just a few days left, sportsmen and athletes the world over will be gathering under the Chinese sky to compete against their best. Hence, the design of the Chinese character "Sky", centered amidst muted clouds in pastel tones.

The design is available for download in our Contemporary Collection.

Resource Search with Google Engine

In the quest and search for craft topics and knowledge, we have launched a new section on resource search. Created with the help of Google's meta data and keywords search engine, Craft2Style.com's resource search will focus and target more narrowly on the different aspects of craft interests using guided and predetermined keywords.

Having tested the search engines, the result listings appear more focus and targeted as compared to those produced by Google from their search engine home site. To begin with, users can select from a listed categories of craft interest or simply start with the search box directly from the resource search page.

New Craft2Style.com !

Guess you have been wondering why moi have been missing in action all this while....

Apart from taking a short break, I was busy updating and redesigning Craft2style.com. There was also this issue of looking for a new host as the old hosting company for the site was somewhat slagging. It is a major consideration as it concerns a total makeover.

The tedious technical stuff took up most of the time. I did however enjoy redesigning the new logo and the site theme. Most important the new site will provide better access to member resources apart from neater information retrieval of the more popular articles like projects and embroidery downloads. We are also looking into providing a better access for our authors to submit their contributions.

Well it has been a long wait to finally relaunch a totally new Craft2Style.com. I am particularly proud of the new logo..
