Before we get started I would like to thank Vicki for hosting this wonderful blog hop.
Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog.
I'm Caroline, a jack of all trades, I share that here on my blog. My post are a smattering of art, food and book reviews, my three loves.
Today I am giving away this wall hanging. I created it just for this hop! All you have to do is leave a comment and a way for me to contact you.
I will draw a name on February 15th..
A little about my art. I love to share my creations and offer many of them for free in my Etsy Shop.
I am not dedicated to a particular style, I like to try new things and mix it all together. This year I am trying to make a video tutorial every month. You can see all my video tutorials on YouTube. You can also click on the Tutorial Tab and it will take you to all of my tutorials.
When I'm not in my studio or reading I love to cook. This year I have started a series of posts that I'm calling Monday Munchies. These are not original recipes (which I do share also) but reviews of recipes from the plethora of cookbooks I have in my home. I offer tips and tricks to making them work or just flat out changes.
I would love it if you joined by just leaving a comment.
And that brings me to my passion for books. I read and review all different genre's and am a member of two book clubs.
Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to meeting you.

So lovely to meet you, and thank you for leaving a lovely comment ;) I've become a follower and will be back on a less frantic day...
Yes, I've done a few book reviews - my latest was a debut novel by Rebecca Alexander 'The Secrets of Life and Death' (I think) - a cracking good read :)
Hey there, thanks for the lead to being involved in Grow Your Blog. This is fun flitting from one blog to another and seeing what other folks do.
I love your creative spirit. Crafts, cooking, whatever you do has "fun" all over it. xoxo Oma Linda
Hi Caroline,
I'm visiting from the Grow Your Blog party. It is nice to meet you. You are very talented! I plan to look around a bit more and then be on my way to visit the others. Your wall hanging creation is just gorgeous! I do hope you will stop by for a visit and enter my giveaway. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs – Donna
Hi Caroline lovely to meet you, I love your art it's so pretty. You know many people hear you say you knit, sew, crochet, paint etc they think of just the odd jumper or so. I love to open up their minds to the vast world of bloggers out there who make the most amazing creations. Thank you for sharing and popping by to visit me. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create next.

Hi Caroline I hope you don't get this twice, Google keeps telling me to wait whilst it's catching up!
It was a pleasure to find your blog, your work is beautiful.
I actually finished Celtic Noel in just over two weeks, I was having one of my enforced bed rests whilst stitching it. I also completed Celtic Autumn just afterwards. I didn't convert the colours myself I'm not clever enough I used a conversion for both from Victoria Sampler a LNS here in the UK she makes beautiful changes.
I've become a follower so will be back to see what beautys you come up with next:)
Have a great weekend

Hello Caroline! Love all the diversity of your lovely site. Have not tried to do tutorials with a video. I will be following your blog and looking forward to reading more posts. Have a wonderful evening!
Caroline, welcome to the Grow Your Blog Hop! I volunteered to help Vicki as a party volunteer. Vicki will stop by sometime I am sure, but with more than 600 blogs participating it will take her time to visit everyone so she asked for volunteers to help today. I offered to help. I am so happy I did because I have found your blog. I will be following you for book recommendations!
Thanks for visiting my blog today. I did as you suggested & adjusted my comments settings.
I am in a book club as well, with 3 of my closest friends. We have a tea party every month & the discuss the book assigned. My favorite books are books on the suffrage movement & biography.
I think I commented already, but I also wanted to thank you for your kind words about my embroidered portraits.
Thanks for visiting.
found/followed you from the gyb party. love your art!

That wall hanging is so pretty. How creative and artsy you are. I too love to read. I wish I had more time for it though. I have so many books that I've started and haven't finished. I guess I need to make time for it. Enjoyed my visit here. Following you.
Hi Caroline, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I also love to read and have the habit of reading 2 or 3 books at the same time...a bit silly I know!
Hello Caroline - received your comment on my blog, and followed it along to here. You do lovely work! Thanks for stopping by my blog, you'll be included in the GYB giveaway draw. Please exclude me from your draw, though, as my walls are already full, with no space left to add anything. Unable to reply to your comment on my blog as you're a no-reply commenter - sorry!
