I want you to know that I know what my bra size is and each of these bras are my size.  My biggest problem with finding the right bra is shopping with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newcoolthang.com\/index.php\/2006\/01\/yin-and-yang\/187\/\">Yin and Yang<\/a>.  I just don&#8217;t have the time or patience to try them on in the store.  Usually I take them home, try them on, realize it&#8217;s not the greatest fit, and then I wear it until I can&#8217;t take it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I know there was a fairly recent post on <a href=\"http:\/\/talesfromthecrib.blogspot.com\/2006\/01\/this-year-my-breasts-will-not-sag.html\">Tales From the Crib<\/a> about bras and I don&#8217;t want to go into how to find the right bra.  I&#8217;ve done the Victoria&#8217;s Secret thing and I can&#8217;t stand the &#8220;quadra boobs&#8221; that seems to be the goal of all of their bras.  I&#8217;ve actually found a great bra at Target that is doing the job nicely for now.<\/p>\n<p>What I would really like to talk about is what to do with all of those ill fitting bras.  I know I could donate them to a local thrift store, but isn&#8217;t there something more fun we could think to do with them?  I&#8217;m kind of needing a new hobby so help me out here.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of my ideas:<\/p>\n<p>-buy a bedazzler and make fancy earmuffs (you could probably use fur or feathers too)<br \/>\n-cut out the cups and sew them together like yo yos (quilting terminolgy) to make fabric (quilts, skirts, it&#8217;s your choice)<br \/>\n-again cut out the cups, sew on some finger straps and use them for some kind of handball mitt<br \/>\n-cut out the cups, bedazzle \u2018em , sew them together to make a coin purse<br \/>\n-if it&#8217;s a really big bra you could cut out the cups, embroider one, sew on some ribbon, and use as a babies hat<br \/>\n-make elbow and knee pads for the kids<br \/>\n-if it&#8217;s really, really big you could make yourself a hat<br \/>\n-again really, really big, sew the cups together and make a basketball holder for your husband, bedazzle as you see fit<br \/>\n-sew the cups together, stuff with batting, and use as a little bed for your hamster<br \/>\n-sew the cups together, stuff with pot pouri, and use as sachets for your drawers<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it, I&#8217;m out of ideas!  Here is where you come in.  Remember to keep it clean, it&#8217;s a family blog.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering what&#8217;s happened to &#8220;The Thang&#8221; Geoff is guest blogging at T&#038;S for about another week so the thang is all mine.
