Joann's Yarn Tote
Comments (9)This may not be what you are asking about since you said "carrying current projects around" but I use an old metal wash tub (my DGM used it for washing her dishes) by my chair to keep my yarn in while I work with it. The tub is fairly large and I usually have two or three balls of yarn and a couple of projects I'm working on in it. The tub works great it's slick enough that the yarn doesn't drag so I can work with a ball sitting in it. For carrying a project around I use a small tote bag with pockets on the inside to keep my scissors and needles in one place. I'm not crazy about the tote bag idea but it works ;0)...See MoreThe perfect purse.....................?
Comments (27)maire_cate that is an interesting thread but I don't think I have been to that forum. The thing is some time back GW belched or something and lost a lot of the threads so even doing a search now does not always turn up past threads. sleeperblues did you notice I did not mention how much I love the look of the Berkin? LOL I do I admit I have Berkin lust, definitely do not have Berkin money however. I even looked at some of the good fakes and they are several hundred dollars too. I agree the purses like Coach and Dooney and a few others are pricey but they have a life time guarantee and they do honor them, so for something that will be with you for a lifetime I have been known to open the piggy bank. Purses have long been my drug of choice it is a sick addiction! LOL Everytime my eyes glaze over when I spot one I must have my husband just shakes his head and says you have tons of purses, yes and you have tons of power tools. That pretty much ends that discussion....See MoreSearching for Perfect Purse/Handsome Handbag/Terrific Tote
Comments (31)I think you need to consult a bag maker too. There are lots of them out there ...or find a tote bag that appeals to you and that is exactly what you are looking for on the outside and maybe partially inside...then have someone make all the extra pockets you need that will just slip down into the bag. Honestly, I cannot even imagine carrying the kind of purse you guys are talking about. When I go out. it's to shop or go out to eat , not for a weekend or overnight and truthfully, I can't fathom having to carry all that "stuff". I recently bought one of those as seen on tv phone wallets for $10 bucks and wear it on my belt.......It's the best thing since sliced bread and serves my purpose exactly. I'm hands free, I don't have to worry about aching shoulders or back..... I took all the straps off and just slip it onto a belt....I am just crazy about it......I can hook my keys to it or slip then into the cell phone pocket if I'm not carrying a phone...............See MoreFavorite tote bags that don't look like a handbag
Comments (49)Love all these suggestions-- i am in the market for a good tote also so I will have to return when i have more time! Finallyhome. i love that bag and the color-- but dooney and bourke tend to be sooo heavy! Have you tried that one or seen it in person? Sue/Allison .. i am a long time Hammitt lover! One of my local boutiques used to carry them. I have wanted the one Sue linked (but in black with either silver or gold hardware).. or the similar larger style. I just never got to the place to justify it. I have a reason for some retail therapy-- so maybe today is the day i can justify it??? Bumble, I really like your choices for hauling.. they wont work for my current needs but i like them for hauling stuff between my house and family members' houses. Did you order the American Bench Craft bag from etsy? I'd love to hear what you think of it!...See Moreeld6161
