Secrets of a Butterfly

Chocolate egg and oreos

My lovely suprise today an easter egg from mike, and a kit kat one, my favourite, mmm. thankyou treasure it was SO nice of you to think of me. and here's a couple of pics of my fav advert on tv at the moment, its for the biscuit Oreos, and features this cute little boy and his adorable dog, who's waiting patiently licking his lips, for a bite of biscuit and the little boy's telling him...  "sorry mum says dog's can't have biscuits so i'll have to eat yours too, ...never mind Charlie" (and he ruffles his dog's head)..... you really have to see it to know how good it is,but i tried to give the general idea here ( :

Its been snowing alot here the past twentyfour hours,but its not lying much. Will be back tomorrow to wish you a happy easter, love Kat x

Bunnies,cards and gifts all round

This post is going to be a very big thankyou to my friends for their easter presents and wishes, you have really uplifted my spirits lately and its good to feel that even if i havent been in blog land or texting for a while, i am still thought of. Above is a little knitted mouse(lovely pink colour!) and bunny from Luigi that were tucked inside the rainbow knitted bag, he and his mummy Anna got them from a charity fundraising stall. They contain cadburys cream eggs too. anna also gave me these by East of indiathe quote reads

'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the number of moments that take our breath away'

Today i had two things in the post that were such a lovely suprise the first a chocolate bunny from annie in the Isle of wight,i really appreciate it Silver star as i know how things are so horrible for you and i really want you to focus all your energy on yourself. you are in my thoughts and prayers this Easter and always will remain so.

and the 2nd a package fromtracy containing beautiful handmade bracelets and a knitted flower brooch along with postcards of places close to her heart,all the way from Norway Thankyou honey! Handmade treasures are always so special to recieve,and i really needed it at the moment as i havent been feeling so well.

i added the brooch to my vintage fabric bag that i've had for ages fromLouise loves she's had some more on just lately, they are made from vintage eiderdowns with bamboo handles.the bracelets fit lovely and are just my colours...

I sent out quite a few birthday packages in March i tried to send gifts that i'd made this year, as i think its just that bit different and more meaningful if you can. though of course its not always possible is it, for one reason or another.Here is a picture of the canvas i gave Kate in Scotland with a close up (hello wee friend!)its her birthday tomorrow so Happy birthday to you hon, and its Mary's (who made me the handcrafted paper box for my birthday)today so happy birthday to you too Angel. I gave mary a willow tree figurine and have something i made to send her when she moves house at the end of the month. i won't share it here incase it spoils the suprise.

Speaking of suprise presents i can show you what i gave to Luigi at easter as he has opened it now, so it won't matter if mummy sees it on here its from an etsy seller tiddly winks and he's called baby simon, he's very soft as his body is made of fleece.he just said luigi when i saw him.i hope he has passed on my cuddles to you, i sent him off with many.(anna had given me Veronica bunny made by the same person at Christmas.)

Michelle at Cowboys and custardthankyou for the lovely card you made i got it today and i love the badges!so cool i havent had a chance to get your parcel to you but i know you don't mind,hope the suspense of waiting for the suprise pressie isnt too much! lastly thanks to Amy for the easter card she made me, such sweet bunnies!i'm so glad you had a nice time around your birthday it was lovely to get your letter and hear your news about it. i know it can be hard but your outlook is a brave and one which will see you through hon.
