Ahhh yes like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland I am very much running around a little crazy and late for an important event - the launching of the Return To Eden website.
Firstly I must apologise for the website not yet being launched. The very evening prior to the photo shoot I had a knock at the door while replying to emails and it was a man looking very stunned and worried. He stuttered as he blurted out the words that he had run over a cat. My immediate thought was "my cat does not leave the property so no worries here", long story short I was wrong. My darling Molly Girl had taken to a spot of rabbit hunting (how appropriate a couple of days out from Easter) only a few meters away from our gate and when running back she got hit by this man and died. He was very kind to tell me as we live rural and had he left her I would have gone to check the mail in the morning and found her squashed on the road.
I was alone at home as my fiancee and Children were out of town. I was devastated, incredibly sad and have shed days and days of tears. I am very much a cat person and since moving towns, with working at home and my family being away a lot, she was my best friend. My children are no longer small and so she had really become my baby. Molly Girl will be missed for a long while yet.
A gorgeous friend of mine came over to take photos for me but I was a lost cause and could not help but she did do a marvelous job to help me out. I also had a call from the Payment System people who manage the payments for the website and they told me they would not have my details fully processed until some time after Easter. So either way I could not really launch the website and I had to cancel Thursdays final preparation and hitting the "GO" button.
Then of course we have had Easter (which I hope you have all enjoyed the break and done what makes you very happy). I also had my birthday yesterday and was very happy to have my darling family from 3 other cities in New Zealand come and spend the day and night with me.
Today I am feeling a lot more at peace with things and am able to get on with the urgent task of creating 7 pieces for the Oh Baby magazine shoot which is to be held in two weeks time. The theme being the Mad Hatters Tea Party is also very appropriate for the present time and events as I do feel like the crazy manic rabbit racing around declaring how 'late' or more in my case how behind I am with things, it is Easter and my dear Molly's last moments were spent chasing rabbits and bunnies.
I feel I have let all of you wonderful people down but I do promise that things will get better but as of today I am not sure of the exact date especially with it being a short week. I did however, want to show my respect and explain the delay and also my absence with the Return To Eden page. I hope you can all understand and I can not thank you all enough for your support and time taken to leave me messages and be a part of my dream.
My daughter posted a pic on my wall on my personal page and she told me that this was what it is like in Kitty Heaven and that Molly is now with these little pretties - it really made me smile. I do not know where the pic is originally from but I did want to share it with you all.
Much love and hugs
