Birch twigs decorated for Easter
It’s been an Easter full of contrasts. Sightings of black bunnies and crocus. Spring in the air. The joy of spending time with family and friends. There’s been egg hunts, reading, iPhone photography, walks and cooking projects (the lemon drizzle cake was delicious).
Imagine my horror when I woke up this morning and found the park covered in snow! And it wasn’t just a sprinkle of snow, it was a complete Christmas card landscape, except for the jingling of bells and singing of carols. I charged out onto the balcony and rescued the daffodils in the nick of time.
This Easter I wanted to spend some time ironing out the technical details for a new online store that I’m setting up for my new series of paintings. Somehow, I messed up big time and if you tried visiting my site during the holiday you will have noticed that Marmalade Moon was gone! What a failure!
I went through a series of emotions, everything from shock to relief to horror, until the site came back, magically resurrected…

Thank goodness your site came back up….imagine if it didn’t!! Hope you get a good response to selling your paintings :)
Thank you Megs! Yes what a nightmare it was! Must backup, must backup, must always backup…
Sorry to hear of your white Easter. Good thing you saved the daffodils. :) Can’t wait until your shop is up and running and thank goodness your site is back up!
Forgot to ask how you are enjoying the books
Yes, looking on the bright side! :D I’m really enjoying the books, skimmed greedily through them all, when they arrived and settled deep into Creative Time and Space and loving it!
Hooray that your site is back up!
I was praying for you!
My Grandmother’s favorite cake to make for family gatherings was a Lemon Drizzle Cake!
Brings back fond memories…
Thanks Beth! It was quite a nightmare! And yeah, I actually made the lemon drizzle cake because of fond childhood memories! :)
I was wondering what was up, or more properly, down. Good things are looking up again. “magically resurrected…”, how appropriate for Easter! Good luck with the shop.
Very fitting, wasn’t it! And yes, I’m glad the site re-surfaced!
so glad you were able to rescue the daffodils! and the site! blessings!
Yes, Kendra, that was quite a miracle!

Good luck on your next step Mousy Brown! Can’t wait to see what you do!
oh no! Snow would be hard to take right now. We’ve left our winter state of mind far behind.
mmm….lemon drizzle cake. I like anything with the word “drizzle” in it.
Glad to know there was a magical resurrection…kind of like Easter itself, huh?
(excited for your new shop!)
Th birch branches are beautiful. Missed you and so glad you are back. I can’t believe that it snowed…..again. Merry Christmas, Happy Easter. ;)
Amy and Valarie, yeah the snow was such a shock! It’s all melted now though, spring didn’t give up that easy.
Hi Kate, Thank you for sharing a slice of your life with us, complete with highs and lows! Sorry to hear about your shop. But glad that it re-appeared. Hope Spring will be resurrected soon too :)
That is such a gorgeous easter decoration. :) I hope the cold snow goes away soon and happy warm spring returns. Oh such a wonderful news to know you are setting up a shop! I too hope you get a good response to selling your paintings! Have a lovely merry happy week and love to yoU!
She’s back… hooray! Not to worry, Kate… *exhale*… things have a way of coming out right. :o) VER Y excited about your new store… and I just LOVE this Easter image! But snow… oh, no… not more snow! I do hope it will melt quickly and spring returns. It’s not very spring-like here though, either–lots of gray, rainy, chilly days…bbbrrr… LOL! We must keep magic, warm, sunshiny thoughts in the meantime, yes? Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))
Oh Phew! Exhaling with you Kate. One of my earliest blog posts (5 years ago!!) was about computer meltdown and the big lesson…back up, back up, back up. Only by experience eh? Hope you are getting some warm weather x
