Hi everyone!
My name is Carolyn Shore. I am the founder and website developer of ByTheCShore.com and a first-time blogger. My home is in beautiful Stuart, Florida where I live with my husband, David.
I would like to take a minute to say hello and welcome you my new website and blog.
I fell in love with computers in the early 80s when they were first becoming a “thing” in offices especially for creating documents and spreadsheets. Then computers in the home became a reality, opening up a whole new realm of possibilities. In the past I built a few websites for others but I have always wanted to create my own personal website. Previously I used a program called FrontPage but now I’m working with another whole different platform called WordPress which is what they call a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). For all of you who have always wanted to try their hand at creating a website, this is certainly the way to go and a lot of fun. There is definitely still a learning curve but actually quite easy to get started and work up to more complex designing.
How did I get the idea for the name? Since my first name begins with a “C”, my last name is “Shore”, and I live by the ocean, it was kismet that led me to the domain name ByTheCShore.com. And finally, I’m scratching off one more thing from my “Life To Do List”.
My thought behind the creation of ByTheCShore.com was to be able to have a way to show some of the things I’ve made or created. You all know what it’s like to scroll through the hundreds of photos on your phone to find a particular photo of something you’ve done or made that you want to show someone! Frustrating! Sure is! And now I have a way to easily show some of my handiwork.
I am truly excited to show you some of my handmade and custom creations. I have always had a love and appreciation for all things handmade. As a child I learned to sew, knit and crochet and have never stopped learning and expanding my love of homemade things. I knit and sewed for my myself, then my children, and now my grandchildren and others. I’ve delved into many realms of artistic art forms and continuously exploring new ways to express myself. I’m not sure there is anything that I wouldn’t be willing to try!
I hope you enjoy ‘leafing’ through my website. If anything catches your eye and you want more information or interested in asking me to make for you, please send me an email. I do take orders.
This blog is new and will be expanding as content is built and new items added. I have many plans and my head keeps twirling with ideas. Please check back often. This is definitely a work in progress.
Wishing everyone a healthy and safe 2023!
Carolyn Shore
