Hello world... We have been asleep

After months of not having the time or energy to blog now I have started working, I decided to ask Kate to join me and reinvent stitchitupandstitchitdown. I love blogging and really wanted to keep the blog going but with work and my whanau just didn't ever manage to find time to post. 

Kate is an amazing creative person who also loves reading blogs and we have such similar tastes and passions, it seemed like the perfect fit.

So here we are! From here on our things are going to be fresh, exciting, new and inspiring... We hope ;p 

We can't wait to try new things from crafts, fashion looks, recipes, diy and of course updating you all on what goes on in our world. It's going to be fun trying out new things and hopefully inspiring you on your journey as many of you have inspired us.

Bring it on

 Kate & Mim

Makes you think...

Thursday outfit

Top: Glassons
Skirt: Instinct
Belt: Kmart
Tights: Shanton $3!!!!! on special
Ballet Flats: No1

Ok so I have thought for a while I would like to do some outfit posts. But man it's so hard to get a good pic!!!!! Next time i should put up all my lame-o shots just to prove how many times i had to take a picture to actually get one that is half decent!!!

I have a few probs. 

1: My camera is lame. It's really old and bad and often turns it'self off so the whole process takes ages just cause of that.

2: I have to use self timer as the kids are all at school and Tama is at work so that's is always a pain.

3: It's really hard finding somewhere to put the camera and get the shot so i actually have my feet and head in it at the same time!!!

4: When taking the pic outside either the sun is totally in my eyes so i am squinting really bad (Hence the sunnies) or our puppy tilly walks in front of the camera just as it is going off.

Oh well i got it in the end. Hopefully this will not be my one and only outfit post :) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated to improve this process.

To name or not???......

So obviously i am new to this whole blogging thing, and just in case one day I do actually get some people reading it :) I thought i would ask for your blogging opinions.

It's all about privacy, with the kids. So far i have not mentioned names of them or my husband.

But I am a bit of a name addict. I LOVE hearing what people have called their kids, funny though when it comes to your own!!!

I have posted pics of them on facebook, not heaps, but still some. I have used their names there so i guess I could totally use them on here. But my facebook is not accessed by the world.

So what are your thoughts????
