Where did March go? It was a very busy few weeks for us, including the ongoing kitchen renovation, photos to come soon!
The end of the month yesterday finished with a very shaky afternoon for us - there was a 5.2 earthquake at 2pm, centered quite close to our little town, followed by lots of small after shocks. I've never felt an earthquake as severe as that one, my heart was racing I can tell you! Very scary indeed.
I was a busy wee stitcher and crafter during March, finishing off one or two little projects on the go and making a few gifts for friends birthdays too.
This little Christmas pillow was a leftover wip from last year, I had intended it to be Hannah's 2013 ornament. I love this cute design and also some of the others by Madame Chantilly.

Now our new kitchen is functional I spent a few hours on Saturday afternoon baking some lunch box treats and also a birthday chocolate cake for my younger brother's birthday lunch on Sunday. Hannah decided on the icing colour and how to decorate it :)
