Busy Days.

This morning I woke up after a much needed 8 hours of sleep & got Gavin off to school.  He's such a little champ in the mornings.  Gets himself ready right on schedule.  Awesome kiddo I'm raising. ;)

Right after I drop Gav off at school its my morning ritual to just sit down for a bit and relax with some caffeine and last night's DVR'd shows.  A slow start to my day.  But today, I woke up anxious because I have SO MUCH to do over the next few days!  So I started with a to do list...a massive one.
I'm probably only halfway through my list and its already after 4pm!  So I've just been busy, busy, busy.

My Dad is visiting us from Colorado and arrives in Florida on this upcoming Sunday!  I'm so excited!!
Of course anytime a guest is coming my OCD kicks into overdrive.
So back to cleaning I must go!
I hope you are all having a great week!  If you're not, at least its halfway over!
Happy Wednesday!!

Wow, I am truly blessed!!

I have the most amazing friends and family.  You all have been out there spreading the word about me and my "numbers" have skyrocketed!!  My facebook page is growing, my blog views are increasing, my inbox is filling up with loads of encouragement, ideas, and future orders.
I am blessed to know all of you.  For those of you reading that I don't know personally...I'm blessed that you stopped by my little corner of the world for a peek.

With that being said, its apparent I need to kick it into high gear and start posting listings on my Etsy so you lovelies have more to look at!
Up until this point in time I've been practicing.  I make almost everything as practice and because I'm a perfectionist I give those things as gifts if even one stitch is out of place!

I've finally realized that I need to stop doubting myself and my talent because not a single person has ever called my work lackluster or imperfect.  I absolutely can't wait to share and sell new things!

So keep an eye out and definitely check back with me if you want a little piece of Miss B to cherish!

Comments, feedback, compliments, suggestions are ALWAYS welcome!
Tell me what you look for when you're shopping for handmade goods.  What appeals to you most?  What would you be most interested in purchasing if my talents allow me make it?  What are your favorite fabrics, patterns and designs?
I'm still molding Miss B Designs to be something that not only passes the time for me but also provides my friends, family and fans with things they'd love to have but might not normally buy.  I promise you reasonable prices and I guarantee that anything you purchase from me in the future will be made with love, care and a critical eye.

You can like my Facebook page HERE.
You can find my Etsy HERE, although I haven't posted much quite yet so please be patient!
You can also follow my personal Instagram under Jinxdkarma where I post photos of my work from time to time!

If you see any of my previous fabrics or designs that you absolutely love let me know because I'm always willing to use up what's left of each print.  The end of one yard means I get another!!

That's it for now!  Thank you all for your love & support!!

If you'd like to order something...

If you'd like to order something you've seen me make before, just let me know!  I'm still starting up but I've had several of my amazingly supportive friends interested in buying things from me and I'd love to offer you the chance.
I make many random things, mostly with my sewing machine.
If there's something specific you're wanting that I haven't done yet, let me know!  My favorite thing to do is practice and tune my skills by trying out all kinds of different tutorials and patterns!

For now, if you're wanting something just email me at bethgonzalez16@gmail.com and we'll discuss details & price.  
I have paypal to make payment easy.
I can also create a custom listing for you on Etsy for you to complete your purchase if you'd like.

Hot/cold neck wraps, eye masks, kleenex covers, tea wallets, credit card pouches, little boxy zipper pouches are some of the things I've done in the past.
I am also an authorized seller of these adorable buttercup bags (large or small).

If you're here to check things out for the first time and/or be supportive, that's okay too!  I love all your kind words and encouragement and I'm so grateful you stopped by my blog today! =)

Little Scarlet Riding Hood

Today I challenged myself to make a red riding hood for my good friend & her daughters upcoming 2 year birthday.
It was fun & simple!
I love the way it rippled when I used my zigzag stitch on the edges! !

Here's to tomorrow...

January hasn't started out exactly as I had planned.
I had these big goals, a real heart to heart with myself and I was ready to tackle 2013 on the first day of the year.
But life always happens and adjusting to new routines isn't always easy.
I've been battling a few internal struggles as well, which has kind of put me in a funk.
Regardless, I'm jumping back on the wagon tomorrow.

I've been dealing with a lot of self doubt lately. 
Maybe its because I set some lofty goals for myself this year and I feel kind of *stuck* on all of them.
Maybe its because by the time I have a chance to think about achieving my personal goals, I'm too exhausted from helping other people reach their happiness.
Alas, I need to get it all in check.


So here's to tomorrow.
Less doubt, fewer excuses.
One step at a time.

Warning: Organization in Progress

My apologies in advance to any of my "email subscribers."  I'm doing some organizing on my blog today to make everything *flow* nicer.  This is very much a trial & error process for me...I'm googling tutorials as I go. =)  But just think, its going to look nice & fresh.

Welcome to 2013!!
