I am slowly trying to get back into the swing of things and I blogged. I am wondering do people even read blogs anymore? Am I wasting my time? If not, what types of posts do you like? I am thinking of going back to blogging like I did when I first started, some inspirational posts, some of my favourite brands and some sewing too. Am I crazy? What say you?

In case you didn't believe me when I said my son outgrew all his clothes! 😳Thanks for all the help in my last post. I'm still undecided with what to do but I should have something sewn up soon. 😊#growingspurt#lifewithmisterm#shamoftheperfect

My son went from wearing a size 4/6 to size 11 overnight! All his pants & sleeves are too short! We filled 2 garbage bags with clothing he had been wearing for years. So I kind of have no choice to get my sewjo and creative juices flowing; which have disappeared in the last 3/4 months in case you were wondering where I had disappeared too! The real reason I am posting this, is that I need your help ( clearly i have forgotten everything) the main fabric is this lion fleece( not to thick) and I am not sure if this thin French terry will be to flimsy for the sleeve and "rib" for the collar, hem and cuffs. Also it has no stretch! Umm maybe I could interface it or should I just use some other fleece I have and not take a chance. Help please!

Hello! It's been a while. I hope to be back real soon, in the mean time I am sharing this adorable tip top dress by the super talented and inspirational @kneesocksandgoldilocks 🐰💕 I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter. #tiptopdress #petitapetitpatterns #sewingforkids

My hacked version of the Waterfall Raglan by @chalkandnotch is on the blog! [ link in comments] I ❤️ my new dress! #makeitminetour#chalkandnotchpatterns#waterfallraglan

Editing photos for tomorrow's post for the #makeitminetour Anyone else have a hard time selecting photos for blogposts? #soundecided #takingforever #help!

Hello Tip Top lovers 💕 I will be adding some new sleeve options to the pattern and was wondering if you had any requests or suggestions? Thanks 😀This cute summery version is by @e_shimokawa ✨ #tiptopdress#petitapetitpatterns#pdfsewingpattern#indiepatterns#sewingforkids#sewcialists

MissE then (2) and now (7). I am playing along with @sew_chibi and her #makerskidsthenandnow . This is not the first thing I made my daughter, but it was the first time I showed her face on my blog back in 2012. I also think this is when I really started to get to know a lot of you and how amazing this sewing community is. Thanks for the fun prompt Kat!

Photoshoot ready for @chalkandnotch 's Make it Mine blog tour. Come join the fun, there is link party and giveaway. #makeitminetour#waterfallraglan#pdfsewingpattern#sewingmywardrobe #indiepatterns#isew#sewcialists#sewblueandwhite

I promise this is the last photo of me for a while!
This my #projectsewit for the month of January. A hacked Waterfall Raglan by @chalkandnotch 👌🏼I made the hem high low and added a split cuffed hem. I made the sleeve and collar wider too. The fabric is this cool loopy jersey weird knit that I got at my local fabric shop. Check out the Chalk and Notch's account for a fun sewalong, blog tour and giveaway! #waterfallraglan#indiesewing#indiepatterns#sewingmywardrobe#pdfsewingpattern#

I love my Waterfall raglan by @chalkandnotch 💃🏻I made it with a thin wool jersey blend and it's simply the best. I cannot tell you how many times I have worn it in the last 2 months 🙊#waterfallraglan#chalkandnotchpatterns#projectsewit

Proof I am still alive! Here is a photo I took today of a shirt I made in September! 🐛🐞🐝So sorry I have been mia- I've been in a creative funk and avoiding social media for the most part. Do you ever get this way? I did make an effort and made myself a sweater for #projectsewit2017 and i promise to post that tomorrow.
If you are curious, I got the fabric @fabricdotcom - it's called Alexander Henry June Bug Tropical Types Single Border Natural/Peach

Sorry I've been mia. I took some time off to spend it with these 👆🏼three and promised to not to work and limit my time online. It's back to normal tomorrow!

Aren't these polka dots the sweetest? Thanks @3_meisjes_op_het_strand 💙What are you all working on this January? 😊

I did this a couple of weeks ago and got Strength. Then the gif popped back in my feed again yesterday and I tried it again and got the same thing. So I got skeptical and tried it not once but three more times and got strength again and finally infinite pizza🍕I am not sure what the universe is trying to tell me, but I guess strength is something good to have! Wishing you all a Happy New Year full of strength as well.

Love the absolute joy on this cutie's face 😍 And those stripes!!! Thank you, Nina @fliegfederfrei 💙💙💙 #isewfridaydresses #petitapetitpatterns #handmadekidsclothes #sewingforgirls #sewingforkids #kidsfashion

Let's hear it for some great pattern matching! 👏🏻 Love this cute flannel Friday Dress from @bi.o.ka ❤

I hope you are all enjoying the holidays! We've been waiting for the sun to come out to take some photos of the Nutcracker and Plum Fairy dolls I made for Christmas. It looks like we've been cooped up and stuck indoors for far too long and forgot what the sun felt like! 😂 So this was the best photo I could get. I will have to try again to show you all the details of the dolls. #these👫 #handmadedolls#sewingforkids

I love this little beauty in her minty Friday Dress by @b_l_a_n_c_h_e_85 - so refreshing and pretty 😍

These two! Here is another photo that didn't make my 50 nuances d'été blog post. I hesitated, but ended liking the bokeh water drops in the other photo more than my daughter being silly and trying to lick her brother.

Did you catch this week's @shamoftheperfect post yet? You can see my little monkey doing her favorite thing at the playground in bigger and at better resolution. Lucky her she didn't get my weak arm genes, only my ugly feet and unibrow ones. 😂 #shamoftheperfect#strongisthenewpretty#playgroundaroundthecorner #documentyourdays #documentaryfamilyphotography #familyphotography #montrealfamilyphotographer#dfpcommunity #familyphotojournalism #illuminateclasses #definethejourney #childhoodunplugged#candidchildhood #mtlstories

This week was packed with so many different activities, including my cousins' wedding at this wonderful venue. I didn't have much time to post here, but my favorite 4 photos of the week are up on the blog as part of the 50 nuances d'été blog circle, if you care to see(link 👆🏼) #50nuancesdete #vdmariage2017 #these👫#zarakids #hmkids #dressedtoimpress #shamoftheperfect#illuminateclasses #defineyourjourney #documentyourdays#quebecwedding

A few fellow Québécois photographers and I have started a summer blog circle called 50 Nuances D'été (50 Shades of summer) and every week we will be sharing 4 of our favourite photos (this one is not really part of it). You can come and follow along and see what summer is all about here in Quebec. The first week is up and I have a little bit of theme going. Let's see if I can keep that going too.

Super proud of MisterM, he was stellar not only in his class play but at his piano recital too (I will add a video today in my stories). #lifewithmisterm #schoolplay #illuminateclasses#definethejourney#shamoftheperfect#familyphotojournalism#documentyourdays#dfpcommunity#documentaryfamilyphotography

What is the best thing about your brother? - His slimy kisses 😘
What is the best thing about your sister? - She makes me laugh 😂
But it's the sweet little gestures between the two that get me every time. I hope they stay best friends forever.

One thing I want to work on and shoot more of this year is street photography. It happens to be one of my favourite types of photography but so many things stop me from doing it. I am determined to get past all my fears and just do it already.
Here is a photo I took a couple of years ago that I never shared here. I am hoping to win that cool wrist strap @jennifertonettispellman_street is giving away. Go have a look at her street work, it always has me inspired. And here is to hoping @illuminateclasses will offer a street photography class soon! #jtsstrapgiveaway#streetphotography#documentaryphotography#familyphotojournalism#shamoftheperfect#illuminateclasses#womeninstreet

There is a new @shamoftheperfect collective blogpost and it looks like I am back on Instagram! I'll be back to reply to all your lovely comments on my last post tomorrow. #shamoftheperfect #lifewithmisse #mtlmoments #lestersdiner #documentyourdays #dfpcommunity#documentaryphotography#familyphotography#familyphotojournalism#illuminateclasses#definethejourney

I am not sure if I should be jumping for joy or crying, but I just got rid of 11 000 ghost followers on Instagram!😳 And I could keep going but this is as much as my ego can handle for now. It all started when I went down the comparing trap and felt terrible about how low my engagement was on IG compared to the amount of followers i had. It made me feel poorly about what I was sharing here. So I got a third party app and realized most of my followers were either inactive or had never liked or commented on any of my posts. I never realized how many of these people there were. I never used apps or bots to get these followers- you see a couple of years ago Instagram suggest my account as one to follow and my account almost tripled overnight. What good is that if they aren't going to be a part of the IG community! Ugh. In the middle of this clean up I got shadow banned by IG and so now even less people have been seeing my posts, even my active followers. As I am trying to make things better, it would seem they are only getting worse. Anyways, I've decided to take a break on social media for the next few weeks. I'll be checking once a while but if it's urgent send me an email. And a huge thanks to all of you who have stuck around and gave me a like here and there over the years. I really appreciate it. 💕 #mytrampolinestory #lifewithmisse#shamoftheperfect#illuminateclasses

Can't wait for these two to get home, so I can squeeze them a little harder. My mama heart aches today. Sending 💕to all the families in Manchester.

Bathroom selfie! I don't think I ever showed you my new hair cut (it's been over a month) and I haven't been great at taking my #52reflections shots lately. I might have missed a week or more. Also I took this as part of the IG weekend prompt but didn't post on time. But it's not often I put on makeup and style my hair... so hello 👋🏼#selfportrait#bathroomselfie#getin52#getintheframe

Another one from The Giants from this weekend. We saw this scuba diver wake up and stroll through town! It was incredibly breathtaking. [see it walking in my stories] #mtl375#thegiants#lesgeants#mtlmoments#visitmontreal#jaimemontreal#inmyneighborhood#oldmontreal#vieuxport#exploreqc#mtlstreetart

Hey Vancouver friends, my family and I are headed your way the first week of July and we would love to hear any recommendations you might have. We've never been out west and are so excited! Hit me with your coolest spots, what to visit, where to stay, etc... best ice scream spots welcomed too! #lifewithmisterm#vancouverherewecome

We were pretty upset to see that the gardener came by today and mowed the lawn... all our dandelion were gone. 😢 Good thing they grow back fast! 😂 #lifewithmisterm #freelensing .

He was super proud to show me that he could ride his bike without his feet on the pedals. So I asked him if he could do the same without holding on... ummm, maybe it was not such a great idea!😳 What is the worst suggestion you've made to your kids?😂 #badmomideas#iwillworryforever#kidsgonewild

Can you spot the bunny? 🐰The kids and I couldn't believe how big it was, I mean it was huuuge. Anyone know if it is a pet bunny? If so, would it roam free this way? Honestly I am not even sure anyone lives in the house. It felt a little surreal and like a dream. #inmyneighborhood#mtlmoments#streetshot#townofmountroyal#illuminateclasses#definethejourney#documentyourdays#thenarrativesociety#streetphotography#mtlarchitecture#mtlhomes#jaimemontreal
