Let’s meet the founder of Craft Passion: Joanne Loh
It’s not often you find someone who remains passionate about something for most of their lives. Growing up in a crafty household, Joanne would often observe her grandma and mother as they turned needles and threads into beautiful items. From a young age, she developed a fondness for handicrafts and began her DIY journey by learning from her elders, reading books, and browsing the Internet to stay updated on new techniques and trends.
The ability to personalize items to reflect her own style and preferences fascinated her and continues to fuel her creativity. Among her wide range of projects, she is particularly drawn to crafts that serve a practical purpose, such as wearables, purses, meaningful gifts, and her popular stuffed animals sewn from socks (sock animals) and crochet creations made from yarn (amigurumi). Her work, however, is not confined to these areas; she continually explores diverse forms of crafting, reflecting both creativity and versatility.
She is also very generous in sharing delicious family recipes and newfound recipes. Once Joanne has found something she likes, she cooks and experiments until she achieves perfection before sharing it. Promising to deliver only the best recipes there are out there.
When asked if she found taking photos of her crafts challenging (yes, she does take her own photos!), Joanne mentioned that she still enjoys it, even though it is time-consuming. The results and supportive responses from all of you make it worthwhile.
We’d love to see what you’ve created with our free patterns.

A place where we share all kinds of craft projects. Our website’s name literally means a passion for crafting. Thoughtfully created out of pure interest to share Joanne’s (the founder) love for handicrafts back in 2008. Since then, it has blossomed into something more than we could have ever imagined.
Craft Passion is now home to hundreds of DIY & recipe-related content. We cover a wide range of topics, including sewing, crochet, knitting, kid crafts, amigurumi, and recipes, with helpful tips. We also share creative recycling & upcycling ways to transform your pre-loved clothes and household items into meaningful new treasures.
Seasonal crafts are another favorite of ours to share. From Christmas crafts and Chinese New Year crafts to Valentine’s Day crafts, Halloween crafts, Easter crafts, and beyond, each project is thoughtfully curated to match different levels of difficulty and appeal to a wide range of crafting interests.
Starting a blog meant putting in additional effort into the existing work. What began as a desire to make anything Joanne loved turned into carefully crafted blog posts. She soon realized that it was essential to create meaningful projects that could satisfy her followers’ needs and keep up with the trend. The final product no longer contains only the craft itself; instead, it is paired with written content that describes each pattern, craft material recommendations linked to products, and detailed step-by-step instructions accompanied by images that document the entire process.
We hope you’ll find inspiration to create thoughtful gifts, cook delicious food, and decorate your home with handmade items from scratch. Stay tuned for occasional giveaways, and sign up for our weekly newsletter, so you don’t miss out on anything!
