So I went to a craft fair a few weekends back and I finally got a sale, actually I got two. I sold a car seat cover at the craft fair, then I got a custom order from a woman at the craft fair. Two burp cloths for twin boys.(see below) She loved them so much that she placed an order for one more for a baby girl. Then low and behold, I got a order from Etsy. YEAH!! She wanted a car seat cover. One slight easy modification to add velcro straps, and sold. I mailed it out right away. So I need to keep this momentum going and sell some more. I'm so excited!

what is happening...
So, just to share a little background, I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter that was conceived with a little help from some fertility doctors. Seems my ovaries don't want to release eggs on their own. Call them selfish. After 2 years of fiddling with nature the Doctors finally got it right, and I was pregnant.
As soon as my beautiful daughter was born, we deceided to go ahead and try for number 2 right away. No waiting cause I am getting old and I want to use up them fresher eggs for making babies. So when the Dr offered birth control pills after my daughter was born I told her " NO WAY" she looked at me like I was crazy.
Anyhow, to make a long story short we had been trying for over a year with no luck. So I decieded to go ask the Dr's for help one more time. It started like before with the pills and pills and more freaking pills. But we didnt get pregnant. So we put it all on hold for 6 months while the hubby went out to sea. As soon as he got home, it was GAME ON! So, after a 3 month wait on the waiting list, we were finally on our way to being parents again. Only this time, my body doesnt want to respond to the hormone injections as easily as it did the first time. Now we are on our second round of shots at a higher dose. Lets just say that my facial skin doesnt like this one bit. I feel like I'm 15 again, well at least where my skin is involved, and still no actions on the ovaries.
Right now my only follower, my sister-in-law, knows this whole story and is one of my biggest supporters. But I figured I would put all this down so in the hopes of one day having more followers, this would all be here to read. I plan on putting updates on here of my progress this round of shots and beyond. Hopefully it works this time and I will be posting good news.
Thanks for reading!!

things i like to make...
Here are a few of the things I make...
I am in the process of making Minky blankets, corker bows, and wetbags for my Very first craft sale. Hopefully I will get a good response at the craft show so my wonderfull hubby will quit bitching at me for not selling anything (gotta love it). Guess I have to make him happy so he wont cut off my crafting allowance...lol. Most of the reason I want to sell some of this is because I am a stay-at-home mom and we just bought a house, I need to extra income for more than a hundred reasons. Dont we all right? Anyhow, soon as I figure out how to do all this cool blogger stuff, maybe I can generate some sales....just one sale at this point would make my year....hahahaha.

and it begins...
So this is my first post...
First, let me explain the name of my blog. It's because I like to sew and my husband, and ALL his friends like to drink beer. I usually like to craft and sew on the weekends, prime drinking time. So when I sew and craft, I usually have to work around a sea of beer cans, hence the name bobbins and beer cans. Bu dump bump... I hope to use this blog to show off all my Etsy work and maybe sell some of my creations...finally.
