Bed rest ---> Day 6 {{Crafty Momma}}

Oh the boredom that ensues when you're force to be on bed rest!!!  I am not a sitting duck.  I am a doer {not to be confused with an OCD-er).  There is only so much web-surfing, pinning on pinterest, and emailing you can do...

Ryan has been amazing about keeping the house cleaned.  I'll admit, I do things very differently, but I honestly cannot complain.  I am grateful for his diligence and his efforts.  I am not used to being taken care of, but it's nice to know the house isn't becoming a hoarders house in my cleaning absence.

In an attempt to curve my boredom and to bring some satisfaction for the day, I decided to take on this project:  Tee to Tank {Thank you, Pinterest for this one!!!}.  I thought this would be a cute summer alternative, plus I could create a new wardrobe out of my unused t-shirt wardrobe for FREE.  That sounds heavenly with a newborn and a postpartum body on the way!!!  I could take the t-shirt/yoga pants mommy outfit a fashion forward - much cuter level!  Plus, with the option to tie the straps on both sides vs. one side I could easily convert these to "nursing tanks."  Hmmm...maybe if I used velcro at the top of the straps?  Yes, I might just try this.

Here is my first attempt { and no, I cannot model this due to my very large baby bump! But I did post about it on my DIY blog} -- and I'm quite pleased with it's cuteness.  I'll admit.  I NEVER once wore this t-shirt.  I bought it as part of a fundraiser, but just couldn't get into the fit of this tshirt.  Now I can't wait to wear it!!!


Now, on to the next project!?!  What shall it be?  Another Tee to Tank?  Another headband for Baby Girl?  Will I take up crocheting {doubt it, my patience is too thin for that right now!}?  I'll keep you posted.  I have 13 more days {{hopefully}} of this.  As bored as I am, I'd still love to make it to our goal date of June 26th!
