an annoying cyber attack on typepad had me out of commission for the last few days. there wasn’t much to do but wait it out. and throw back shots of bourbon with bourbon chasers. but while i was waiting. and seething. i got busy building something over on wordpress. i’m launching a new online class sometime this summer and i want a brand spanking new website for it. where…hopefully all future classes will be hosted. that means i am up to my ears in wordpress DIY website building. my philosophy of website building is pretty much my motto for everything i can’t figure out. cleverly stated by someone in blogland and emblazoned across 4 billion t-shirts and letterpress posters.
i can’t do this but i’m doing it anyway
except to that i add:
come hell or high water!
thanks for the emails of concern. moss cottage is still standing. this woman is still strong. the cats are still goodlooking. and all the ideas are still above average.
if you get this smoke signal give me a holler. xo.
New online class-hell or high water I say bring it! Wow what exciting news! Oh to be so determined! I love it! Yipppeeee!
a blogging wave back at ya! I hear your pain but there’s one thing I totally agree with you on . . . your ideas are above average! hang in there and wear down those nasty cyber nasties!
Woo Hoo!!!! New class!!!! Can’t wait. and I did add that pink writing to my quote book!
Smoke signals loud and clear down here in little Orewa New Zealand.
So glad you are back on board, we had withdrawals. And that new class has us very intrigued…
Owooooooo! Hollering for my favorite colorful artista and blessing your new creation. May it come with ease and bring much joy, fun, and learning for your wolf pack. Owooooooo!
Yay, a summer class! Now I’m excited!
Just when my week could not get any better (and you know THAT’S true ;-)!) Smoke signal being read here, new class – good lord almighty, I am quite beside myself!!
Love, love, love the florals…can just imagine that on a pillow…or summery curtains. A new class…staying tuned in:-)
I hear you lady and I’m super excited to hear a new online class is coming. WordPress has themes people make too which can make them fun websites. I like that about it. It’s not just a blog anymore.
Gotcha. Thank goodness, girl!
All this hollerin’ is splendid, but I want to know if you got the chocolate bunny???? Did it also get lost in the shuffle?? They’ll be on sale now 🙂
Yay!
you cannot leave us like that – we need a STRONG hint of your new class. After all, we have been through so much wondering what was up with you and your blog. Please, please, please.
HOLLLLLAAAHHHHH! Lovin’ the garden and the ones on paper as well! Kudos to Galdino!
I knew Typepad was out of order. Many people had the same problem as you. Glad it is working again. I have never done a blog because all the hooha just seems to be more than I can overcome. Plus I am worried that I would be one of those every 6 months posters.
Aloha, Kate
Phew! I suspected a cyber snafu…and I’m glad you’re back in business!
I’m emptying part of my brain to make room for the new class!!! Gotta make sure it’ll fit!
Love your flowers! Wild and gorgeous!
Hugs from Oregon,
Sheila
Uffda! (That’s Minnesotan for WTF!) Glad you’re up and running again. I’m totally feelin’ the – “I can’t do this, but I’m doing it anyway”. I started my first blog a couple of weeks ago and Boy! does that apply! Anxiously awaiting your summer class… ~Dawnri
Looooking Goooood!
Holla from Henderson Nevada. I just finished an online class with Judy Wise and we were hi by the typepad issues last week. Glad you have weathered the storm. Take care
smoke signals have arrived in Denmark too. so glad to see your blog up and running again.
happy moments with your last posts on this day with trip to Italy that was due for tomorrow moning but now are cancelled
Love seeing your drawings Miss Moss – always so inspiring.
Hollering from Tulsa. I second the thought that you should take some of your flower painting on journal pages and do some fabric with them on Spoonflower! That would be ever so cool.
Glad you are back! your site is a touchstone of my day.
Pox on Cyber attackers, there is no suitable punishment for these trolls.
Glad you’re back, I look forward to hearing about the new class and wish you well! Keep us posted, even a few little teasers would be nice…you know, just to whet our whistles.
Smoke signals coming in loud and clear from the Intermountain west of Nevada.
Got your signal here in the Desert Southwest! Glad you are back. Now I am curious about your course??!!
I was wondering if it was my computer or yours! Smoke signals happily received here on the east coast!
Love your flowers, smoke signal, new website (sure will be fabulous ) and new class. Can’t keep a good women down Love ya
Thank God you’re back! The smoke signals are highly visible near USC. Can’t wait to hear more about the new class.
And tipsy kisses to Corky and Wyatt. 😉
Yay new online class!!!!!
Yea! When I would try to access your site, the white screen said, “Domain expired”! I tired accessing through Google with the same result. I’m so glad you are back-made me realize: what would I do without you? I give you LOTS of credit for attempting the new stuff online-somehow, it gets done.
I would love to take your new class, too!
I am receiving you loud and clear up nearSan Francisco!
You will survive!
Yay! Glad you are back. I thought at first it was something going on in my computer.. But after awhile and other Typepad blogs gave me the same error message, I figured it out. Lovely watercolor flowers!
Smoke signal received loud and clear here in southern Ontario. Always a treat when you post but one that mentions a new class? YOWZA!! Glad to hear Moss Cottage is still standing and all its residents are still good looking and incredibly talented, etc., although you might now be slightly tipsy from all that bourbon you’ve been knocking back! 🙂
Looking forward to hearing about your new class!!
Sharon
Jumping up and down and cheering..I bet you heard me this morning and I bet I woke you up. New class whhhhhhooooooo HOOOOOOOOOOOOie. I’m there, bags packed, supplies at the ready….!!!!!!
Received loud and clear! 37 miles east of the Big Apple.
Hang in there,Kemosabi!!!
Missy from the bayou
Yay!
So excited about your next online class! Hooray!
Yeah! So glad you are back!!!
Signals received silent and smoky. Cannot wait to see what you have up you sleeves for a new class. Seems like its been forever since your last class.
Got it! How about a little teaser about your summer class? I still think fondly of my mornings sitting in Central Park painting “patterns” with art supplies lots of different art supplies I have, but rarely use.
I had serious withdrawal! Glad you are back up and running. By the way, you need to convince your sister and Pam to switch too. You are all on typepad and I couldn’t get to any of you. Can’t wait to see the details on the new class. Hugs from your friend land-locked in central Ohio.
I wordpress, feel free to write me and ask if you need any help, I figured some things out on my own too. 🙂
I had trouble accessing several typepad blogs the last couple of days. You spoke the two words I was longing to hear…new class!!!
So glad you are back-I missed reading your posts! Very curious about the class you are building!
I call that ‘Forrest Gumping’ my way through life. It’s our family motto. So happy to hear about the class!
Welcome back! When I saw the “unknown domain” message, I figured there was something peculiar going on……….
How I wish vandals would get a life and do something productive, for a change! Like paint tuberoses, maybe.
Waving a hello!
Thanks for planning to “relocate”! I thought my problems with typepad sites were a result of my own incompetence or my computer’s age. So I’m glad to know that your pearls of wisdom will be coming through a bit more rapidly and clearly.
Hi and Happy Wednesday! 🙂
I’m on WordPress and I love it!! and I am looking forward to more details on your upcoming class– you’re my favorite teacher (does that win me the teacher/pet award??) 😉
~Dawn
Whey, thank goodness you are back. You are coming in loud and clear and for that I am excited. Looking forward to the new class.
Loud N Clear…. what??? a NEW Class????? hooray!!!
Hurray! You’re back! I was getting worried …
japp, smokesignals well and truely arrived in Sweden.
Loud n clear from quail hill on Vancouver island!
Can you see me waving from the good old U.K. I got an email telling me you had a post to view but when I clicked on the link it would not load……that was a day or two ago. Clearly not just you tho; a uk based blog that I follow was similarly afflicted.
I was away from the interwebs for a few days so I seriously needed my MAM fix, but was sorely disappointed yesterday when I couldn’t find you. Glad you’re back up and running. Hope it stays that way. Good luck on putting together a new class for your craft monkeys!
Hollering loud and clear from Here!
Got it!!!!
Smoke signal received. Yay for a new class, I’ll be there! xox
HOLLA! THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK!!! SUPER EXCITED FOR YOUR NEXT CLASS!!
You go girl!!!!!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! I’ve missed you so much. I thought it was my computer. Cleared my History and everything!
Yea for having your words AND pictures.
Holler! Glad to see you up and running again, or at least typing. Give me a holler if you want about WP. Slight possibility I could help. 🙂
And – glad to hear about the summer class. Looking forward to it.
You are strong! You inspire me, you are very witty and funny no matter what is happening your life. You teach me. Looking forward to the next class you offer. Thank you!
So glad you are not out in the ether, Mary Ann! I wasn’t sure what was happening, but I just figured you were trying something new out. I did decide I missed your pictures. An online class……interesting! Can’t wait to learn more. Leslie
Got the post through facebook……up here in Portland……love the idea of a new class…..I go for scotch however….
No link yet?? Can’t wait to see what you’re putting together for summer fun!
Thank god, all is well.
yay! new course! pretty florals! and bourbon chasers? I’m there.
Yay glad to see that typepad sites are slowly coming back online 😀
I have been using wordpress on my site for the past three years or so and love it (sometimes I don’t love it so much, but I end up loving it anyway).
Came in loud and clear!!
And I want one of those tshirts! hahaha
Yay you’re back! LOVE the flowers. Really love them! Sending you positive energy while you plow thru your wordpress website building. It takes such tremendous energy to do all that. Can’t wait to see it and participate in a new class. I’m on to L.A. this coming weekend (yay) and will probably sign up for your sewing class when I get back home.
Oh yes, “hello” to the kittenage too!:)
Sending back smoke signals, and intense interest in the up coming class. We read you loud and clear. Right now. At this moment. But tomorrow?
Just spend two days dealing with my own technology issues so you really have my complete and sincere sympathy. Mine got fixed and I hope yours have been, too.
XO
Got it here on the Central Coast!
Erin in Morro Bay
Hollah!
You arrived at this small email all the way in Seattle so here is a big wave. Glad you are not too far away and in touch. I did get some text from you but the photos could not be seen the past couple of days. Hope that helps.
waving and hollering – and smiling…
Looking forward to finding out what you have in store for us!
Hooray for a new Mary Ann Moss class. The suspense is killing me…
Those bright flowers would be lovely on fabric. Can’t wait to see what you’re coking up for a new class!
Hollering and waving! And exited about that future online course!!
Holler! 🙂
