‘What I Made’ is nearly 3 years old – and they’ve been an exciting 3 years, the highlight however, was winning the 2011 Webby Award and Webby People’s Voice Award for best personal blog.

With over 10,000 entries from around the globe, just being nominated for a Webby is an honor, so winning both awards in my category was a huge thrill (an even bigger thrill was flying to New York to collect them). And of course, I would have never won the People’s Voice Award with the support of my readers and friends, and that means a lot to me.

Another high point include having How tweets are made included in the prestigious Creative Review Illustration Annual. This was the first time my illustration work had collected an accolade.

‘What I Made’ was also chosen as the San Francisco Chronicle’s site of the week and showcased in Practical Web Design (the world’s best-selling magazine for web designers). Individual projects have appeared on Boing Boing, CraftGawker, One Pretty Thing, WhipUp and many other popular craft and DIY websites.

I was also commissioned by Mark Frauenfelder, the Editor-in-chief of Make: magazine an co-founder of Boing Boing, to produce a regular ‘What I Made’ column. I have also guest blogged on popular craft blogs such as Crafty Crow, and been commissioned to produce craft projects for Craftzine.com.
