WOW, love the colors on the bag...TOO CUTE! In my purse I have...work keys, car keys, 2 diapers, small pack of wipes, kleenex, nail clippers, wallet (wish it had money in it..LOL), 2 bottles of Window Chalk from decorating the car for my oldest daughter's cheerleading competition last weekend in Dallas, and last but not least Tylenol. :) Thanks for the chance to win...LOVE your stuff!!
If you're interested in the pattern for this tote, you can find the information in THIS post, where I showed my quilting bags. I improvised the pattern for this bag and just made it on my own, using 2-1/2" squares.
First, I wanted to thank you all so much for your comments yesterday. Your heartwarming messages meant so much to me and were very touching. You certainly made me feel better. Thank you for sharing your stories and thinking of me. It's so evident that our friendships reach so much further than a simple computer screen. I wish I could give you all big {{{HUGS}}}.
On to the fun stuff.......Nichole has a very exciting Papertrey announcement today. I'll let you read all the details on Nichole's BLOG but I'll give you a few hints......it involves shopping....a fun challenge.....a cute tote.....a gihugic shopping spree......YOU MUST CHECK IT OUT!
I thought it would be fun to play along with Nichole's challenge so I created this fun little, patchwork tote. It uses Moda and Amy Butler Fabric.
An adorable little tote, finished up with Papertrey Berry Sorbet ribbon handle and a fancy little bow and heart embellishment.
Completely lined and oh so cute! Well, I think so.
With a little somethin' inside.....Butterfinger and Reese's Hearts (I've eaten two from the pack already, my faves!).....snippets of ribbon on a wooden clothespin(available at Dollar Tree)......
....and a little signed by mwah. Card uses Kraft and Vintage Cream cardstock, Berry Sorbet Swiss Dot ribbon and ink, buttons, Simply Stationery stamp set and some cute embellishments I made HERE using Heart Prints(a must have Valentine set!). I tied one onto the bag also.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 947 of 947I have a little plastic case that is called my "traveling pharmacy" in our family. It has many little lidded compartments so I can keep the medicines separated. I also have bandaids & a little sewing kit in it.
I was a Girl Scout & a leader & I like to "be prepared."
I have lots of things in my purse...I do carry my digital camera...never know when you'll need it...sunglasses...phone...cute notepad I made...always need something to write on right?
Charmaine
I carry way too much in my purse....but a must - hand sanitizer (and my Starbucks card!). Hey....they both make me happy in a weird sort of way!
By the way...that tote is beautiful - yummy colors!
This is SWEET! In my purse, I almost always carry an apple, my dear daughter's migraine meds, and my fave lipgloss from CO Bigelow! Hmm...wonder why it's been called my Mary Poppins bag?! LOL!
I absolutely love that tote, its darling,now as far as what I carry in my purse everything I can get in there in fact when I went to the court building once and I had to put my purse through one of those xray thingies, the man asked me if I had the kitchen sink in there, He He, but I will tell you that I collect as many Michaels and J's coupons as I can get my hands on, sometimes I have as many as 10 or 20, I want to always be prepared, Thanks for sharing.
I think you are a very talanted gal! My purse (a Vera Bradley) is full of about the last years worth of wal-mart receipts. Don't ask why I guess I have a hard time cleaning it out!! I would love the chance to keep your cute tote clean. Thanks for the chance to win.
holy cow - this is the most adorable bag!! you could sell it for big bucks on etsy!!! I'd be first in line! the fabrics you selected are perfect!
You will always find an emtpy large m&m tube for all those emergency potty trips. Thank God I have a boy!! I don't know what I would do without it!Love your little tote!! You are way too talented.
What a cute project! I love the colors! Kleenex, advil, Rx meds for allergies(a must in sw. MO), gum wrappers, calendar, checkbook, wallet and even sometimes CASH! Oh, since its winter, there are some gloves in there too! Thanks for sharing!
Let's see what maybe hiding in there. I keep my keys, all the many award key hangers on one ring, pen or pens, wallet, lipstick, gum, kleenez, coupons, compact, receipts, and meds. Trying to cut down. Seems like I am a recovery purse fend. Thanks for the chance to win Mish.
what's in my purse? kleenex, carmex(for my daughter's always chapped lips),receipts, a "brag book", camera, everything but money. I spend too much on stamping. I love your bag. thanks for the giveaway
I am the person that everyone at work comes to for "things" - floss, bandaid, pain reliever, etc...the odd thing is, I am the unmarried, childless one! The bag is wonderful, and inspiring!
First, thank you so much for your blog. You are such a talented and wonderful person. Probably the most unusal item(s) that I have in my purse are my various reading glasses. I have several pairs in different colors and styles so that I always match. Age tends to neccesitate the glasses and I want to match. Crazy I know! CindyE in NC
So cute of a tote! I love it!
My purse- well, I always have my dayplanner and the usual gum. But my pride of my purse is my "brag book" from our wedding- full of pics, so people will stop asking me how it went. :)
Thanks for a chance to win you too cute tote!
OMG! What an adorable prize and one I would LUV to win!! Of course everything but the kitchen sink can be found in my purse. At least two 40% off coupons from Michaels can always be found in my purse. They help with my weekly addiction to buy embellies for s/booking & c/making. Thanks for the chance of winning this great prize. Sheila
Mish,
Love the tote!! I am so happy I found your blog - I've become addicted, it's the first thing I check everyday when I go on line (even before my e-mail)!! My purse like many is quite boring - the usual wallet, cell phone (I would die without it), pen's, receipts, advil, tums, car/house keys, gum, Memory Stick, kids health cards/immunization records, perfume, cell phone charger, day planner, and there's always an assortment of crayons, colouring books, Dinky cars, tractors, and My Littlest Pet Shop animals. I also quite often have my best friends wallet/purse in mine - she tends to set things down and forget them. I got tired of having to retrace our steps in the mall, so have begun taking her stuff and putting it in my purse!!! In case I forgot to mention my "little" purse is actually a tote bag!
I love your bag and can see why Jordan doesn't want to part with it. I would LOVE to win it although I'm sure if I did win I would have a fight on my hands with my 5 year old daughter.
Thanks for the chance to win and for all the great ideas you share!
Jen
I love the tote. I have the neatest purse on the planet. Everything is neat and tidy with a place for everything and everything in it's place. I always carry pretty (my husband says they are scratchy) kleenex for my weepy friends. Pick me Pick me
Saundra :)
My purse is filled with the everyday stuff...keys, wallet, lipstick...and crayons, mini notepads, suckers, gum. all the stuff I need for any entertainment for the two girls!
That tote is ad.or.able!
I LOVE your bag!!!!! As like everyone else after becoming a mom you're always find werid stuff in your purse that you never did before. lolol I seem to find everything from Thomas the Tank Engine, to suckers from the bank that ds asks for and never eats. lol I keep trying to scale down and I'm never quite successful. lol And you never know what you're going to find at the bottom.
I WANT THIS BAG! (hee hee hee)
The only thing that really stands out in my purse is the MILLION receipts I have in there! I use my ATM for everything and for some reason, I never throw my receipts away... I have issues!
I love love that bag! Well, let's see what's in my purse. I always keep a digi-cam handy. You never know when you need to take some pics. My cell, wallet, gum, gps (I get lost easily), makeup bag & my keys. Some advil is always on hand. Those are my necessities. :-)
That bag is so cute. Great work! I don't really carry a purse. Instead, I carry a glorified camera bag. I love having my Nikon with me at all times. You never know when a "picture moment" will pop up. But, surpisingly, I don't carry a single photo of my kids with me and I don't know why.
Once again, that bag is FABulous!
GASP! that purse is adorable! I.Must.Win!
Let's see... my purse... currently I have 3 pairs of sunglasses in there - one pair of sunglasses my Bro brought home from Brazil for me (b/c they were very "posh") another pair of sunglasses that are thomas the tank - for my son, and a third {more humorous} pair of bright orange star shaped sunglasses for my 1 year old princess... :)
Very adorable purse.You name I have it from aspirins,tylenol,compact sissors, tape measure and etc.
Huzza Huzza! Love this!
~Kendra
Wow ... yea ... I have way too much stuff in my purse ... it's a real back breaker. But there's always that one thing that someone needs that I don't seem to have. Isn't that always the way? Anyway, I love your blog ... I check every single day to see what kind of awesomeness you've posted. Thanks for the chance to win your adorable tote.
My purse weights too much. I always have my camera, my phone, my fav lipgloss, a mini notepad and of course Advil. That bag is way too cute, I love it! Like your daughter I can't have enough cute tote bags. Thanks for the chance.
WOWZERS!!!! Your talent is ultra phenominal!!! Just about like every other woman out there...what don't we carry in our purses...we have been remodeling our master bathroom...so I've now a piece of the marble so that we can match colors with accessories...and a tape measure to make sure it all fits!!!
You are so sweet! I love this little purse. I totally understand why your daughter is jealous! I keep a few funny things in my purse, a pair of clean panties for my 4 year old daughter and a key to my old car so my toddler can play with it instead of my keys.
Your tote is so cute. You are making me want to learn how to sew! I carry everything in my purse. At the last bridal shower I went to I won the game for having the most stuff in my purse, and I don't even have kids! Ha! Thanks for the chance to win such a great tote and the goodies!
Today my purse was full of craft store coupons: Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and AC Moore. What a way to get in trouble! The tote you made is adorable; winning it would make my day! Thanks for the chance!
So cute!
The thing I immediately thought of was the deck of Uno cards I carry. My son has weekly allergy shots and we have to spend thirty minutes at the doctor's office before being dismissed. So we play cards. Often, other kids there join in. It's become one of my favorite times of the week. My son is 8 and doesn't have a portable game system. We really just have fun playing cards together, and I'm going to enjoy it for as long as I can! :)
Love,Love,Love your blog! I just found a Bakugan in my purse....any of you with little boys in your life will know what that is, and when it touched up against my metal clippers, it transformed into one of the scariest monster things I have ever seen! Scary....

I love your bag, because I'm a quilter. I am 5'10 and thought I had to carry a BIG purse, but the last 4 years, I have carried a purse that is 4X5X6 and I can get a camera, phone, make-up calendar book,----every thing I need and it is organized on boards, and so easy to find. Sometimes I drop it down in a big purse, to match an outfit. I love seeing Longaberger baskets in some of your pictures, but that's another story!!!Thank you for offering your beautiful handiwork.
Since becoming a mommy last June, my purse is no more--------all I can carry around now is the giganti-huge diaper bag-----ugggg! ;0) Although, now that I think of it, it has come in handy---no more huge/heavy purse comments---it all just goes in the diaper bag! hahaha! ;0)
I have odd things in my purse. My son is 3 and he's handicapped. He loves, loves, loves! to chew on straws so there are about 15 in my bag. Also, some crinkily tubes that he can chew on. Also there is gum, lipstick, and coupons!
P.S. This bag is awesome!!!
This is such a cute bag, I would have to say that i can never find my cell phone in my purse, the poor people that call me, always get a call back :)
Oooooo....Ahhhhh...Berry Sorbet one of my all time favorites. Love your bag! I have downsized my purse, but I always try to have some Alieve, hand santizer, and lip gloss. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creativity, and the chance to win!
This purse is absolutely adorable!!! I know exactly what's in my purse - I just bought a new one today and switched over!! I have to carry my camera in my purse, you have to always be prepared to capture a memory!
WOW!! that is So very pretty Congrats to the lucky girly who gets it!!
Hmmm I have my wallet cell phone and keys ... i`m kinda boring!!
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful talent with us!!
again Congrats to the lucky girl that receives that gorgeous bag

Purse...hmmm...more like crammed as if it was a backpack heading to the wilderness - lol! These days I carry what my cats don't steal - after my husband died 11 years ago my cats who never ever got in my purse now go after my pens, my flashlight, my checkbook, my keys - pretty much all the things my husband used to "borrow" and nothing else! The hysterical thing is that even cats who never knew my husband (Steve died 11 years ago) have gotten in on the act. Kinda makes a girl wonder. Lets see other stuff - usual girly stuff makeup, medicines, manicure set, glasses (several kinds),old protein bar incase I get trapped in an elevator for 20 days, rosary and prayer book, notebook (my brain), reading book, folding knife (I live in the country and we believe in being prepared), extra keys clipped so kitties can't steal and about 5 more pounds of incredibably necessary stuff (wink,wink). Much better than it used to be my purse is now at least 5 pounds lighter since I switched to the large size instead of the Ginormous size (I also carry a second basket now for other really important stuff!).
Strangest thing is probably an old baby picture of mine I discovered one day and tucked in my wallet to keep it from getting wrecked where ever I found it and a picture of my old college roommate and I sitting on Santa's knee one year (we're now sisters in law so this pic comes in handy for blackmail from time to time!)
Thanks for sharing you lovely creation. I can see why your munchkin was concerned about our greed - lol! Good thing you were looking out for her!
Hugs and blessings - Jean
I just love the little insert card...so stinkin cute...think the whole darn thing would fit in my purse!!!
Jane
I always have Smarties in my bag to bribe my 20 month old with. Other than that, I carry a huge purse so i can throw in small purchases, sweaters etc. I also carry small foldable 'enviro' bags (reusable) so I don't use plastic anymore.
I have my camera in my purse always ready to get that perfect shot!!!!
Love this tote. I don't know which I like better....fabric or stamps. Since I can't decide I jusst buy lots of both!! I love your blog and would love to win this tote.
Thanks for the opportunity,
Pam
I always need my credit card in my purse! Can't go anywhere without it!
What an adorable bag! I have turned into a minimalist & carry a small purse with only the bare necessities. The only thing I can't go anywhere without is my debit card. Usually a cell phone too - then I'm good to go:)
My little one's out of diapers, so I don't really have a purse anymore! I just use a clutch - it has my phone, cards, keys, compact and chapstick. I could use an adorable little purse!
What a beautiful purse!! I like many others, carry a rather heavy purse... it really needs to be cleaned out! This past Thanksgiving, I purchased a small camera to carry in my purse, as there have been so many moments I have been out and about and wished I had a camera to take a picture of this or that!
Always carry my camera in my purse. Love my digital camera.
I remember vividly the George Constanza wallet. He had everything in there!!!
Love the fact that you are sewing/quilting and combining it with your papercrafts. The two loves of my hobbies. Thank You!
I have anything and everything in my purse, because I have three young children. But my two favorites are 1) my packs of gum that all the sticks are half eaten from my two year old son.2)My lipsticks that are bent and stuck to the top of the lid from my 5 year old who thinks she's 16. What a cute bag!!!! I HOPE I WIN!!!!
You are quite the seamstress! What a cute tote. My purse is very ordinary with very ordinary things in it...I do often have empty gum packages because of kids and I always have my favorite lipstick/gloss in there.
I am very into Vera Bradley purses right now and your little tote is just as cute as one of hers! I always carry a little squirty tube of Vaseline for my lips. I never have chapped lips even though I live in freezing Buffalo! My kids hate it when I kiss them right after I smooth it on!
Oh my that is absolutely fabulous! I must learn how to sew. (I have a sewing machine, but only use it on paper hehe)
In my purse there is a little of everything. But the best thing right now is a tiny little "Cars" underwear for my 2 year old who is finally potty trained. Its the back up, just in case, for when we go out. :)
MISH! This is fabulous--so amazing--you ROCK, girl!
Holly Molly Mish....857 comments at this point...
I love Moda and Mish....this is my new lucky phrase, I hope! It use to"Moda and Amy Butler". Truly I already love Moda and collect their Fabrics. (I sometimes even Sew with them.) TeeHee, You are also high on my list!! I can see why Jordan is not happy with this whole thing! It's Gorgeous!! Thanks for the chance at the drawing! Tell Jordan she can have the Candy if I win, as a peace offering. LOL
Gorgeous purse! With having a three year old little boy, one of the most important things I keep in my purse is wipes! And LOTS of them! They come in handy... quite often!!!!
Wow! I wish I could sew, your tote is so adorable :D As a mom of two little boys I keep odds-n-ends in my bag to keep them busy when we go places. Michael's $1 spot is a great place to find these tiny goodies! Right now I have 2 (must have 2 of everything the same!! LOL) tiny kaliedescopes, 2 ring flashlights, tiny notepads and colored pencil sets. These items are lifesavers for us and make boring shopping trips more fun! Thanks so much!
What a cute bag! I usually carry a small purse that will hold my wallet, cell phone and keys.
Thank you your sharing your inspiration and creativity. I visit your blog daily.
Janet D (Canada)
I like to travel light; with big bags, I tend to fill it with junk. I carry the basics--lipgloss, camera, small coin purse that holds my credit cards, cash & coins, my checkbook & keys.
Holee molee! 861 comments!!
Your bag is just rad! I LOVE Amy Butler fabrics!
Lets see, I do carry my green Ashton Kutcher Nikon camera in my purse always (DH gave it to me for xmas-NO I am not Demi..lol), my MARK avon Glow Baby Glow lip gloss in Sizzle, keys, mints (tho they all fell out of the box and are floating around the bottom of the Abyss..)cell, sunglasses, loose change, face powder, kids pics. By the time I finsh writing this, there will be 900 comments! lol
Thaks for the chance!
Oh how cute.. What a girlie bag that would be perfect for a mom of all boys. In my purse other than the usual stuff I have lots of bandaids (read mom of boys) and star wars action figures and light savors (I have no idea who put those in there or when this happened-all I know is theres enough to do a full battle. Time to clean out the purse.
One thing that I always carry in my purse is a photo of my hubby, the one that hasn't being edited *LOL*.
Always, always have a notepad and pen in my bag. Imperative for writing down all my papercraft ideas while at the docs, dentist, cricket practice etc.
Hmmm...... I can never leave home without my camera!! You never know what stamp store I'll be at and I gotta take a picture of those SAMPLE cards!! Oh.. and perhaps I also might run into a celebrity!! What a great purse you have there! Thanks for letting us play along!! =)
I have two kids who like to get dirty. Therefore, I have to carry around anti-bacterial wipes wherever we go! This was FUN! Thanks for letting me play!!
Because I live in Alaska, it is a MUST to always be prepared and carry around chapstick and a Starbucks card!! Gotta keep the lips moist and myself warm! Thanks!
How cute, Mish...so much talent all in one place! My purse always has a couple of lipsticks, contact lenses solution and my fav purple Cross pens that I got at a discount store for just $2.
OMG, that is such a cute little purse!!! I always have coupons in my purse for Michael's, JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby. You'll also find a coupon or more to a restaurant and/or the grocery store. I won't say that they are all current, however! LOL It would be so fun to win. Have a GREAT weekend.
I carry a little black leather journal. Not so much for writing in as I am not very good at that, but it contains scriptures that I have memorized.
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome bag! The colors are so yummy. Hmm, in my purse is usually my little pouch with coupons in it. I am usually so bad at remembering to use coupons when I am shopping, so I keep the pouch in my purse to remind me to use them.
This is adorable!! I have a mom purse!! Bandaids, tylenol, pins. You name it, I have it in there!! Thanks for the chance at winning!!
Love your little tote. I don't carry much in my purse. I have been downsizing gradually. I have the basics: my cell, wallet, credit cards. That's about it. I can't even fit my keys or sunglasses into it.
That tote is so adorable! I hope I am the lucky recipient!
The thing that keeps jumping out at me from my purse is the prescription I recently got from my GYN practitioner for my annual mammogram! I really need to call and make an appt. :-(
Thanks for the offer!
Kelly :-)
I always have some really good hand lotion and lipstick. Darling purse!
The tote is absolutely scrumpious!!
In my purse...I guess the oddest thing to find would be two pair of hemostats and a bright yellow stethoscope.You guessed it, I'm a nurse. If i take them out of my purse i forget to put them back so this way they are always there when i get to work.
did i mention how awesome this little tote is? thanks, ms.cheryl
OH my this is cute Mish! I have SPARK packets in my purse! LOL :)
I love this little tote and I think I already own all that fabric!
I have started the 365 project so I try to always have my camera. I seem to either have 5 pens or none and usually some "treasure" my daughter has found, can't part with but doesn't want to carry anymore, like acorns or "gems" aka rocks! They always make me smile when I find them when she is not with me so I keep them!
I have my camera in my purse so I'm ready to take pictures of my Darling son ( he would kill me if he knew I said that since he is almost 14.) just in case i need it.
I would have a whole page if I listed everything in my purse because I think I carry everything but the kitchen sink in case I might need it.
Thank you for such an awesome blog candy. I no longer can carry gum as my son takes it out and tries to eat it, so I have to hide it. But I always have change on the bottom as I am a waitress on the weekend, and always have chapstick. Lately I been carrying two wallets, one for money that I stash away and a regular wallet. funny thing is though.. my money is outside of the wallet sometimes even my credit cards are outside of my wallet.
Well thank you again :)
Charna
I love to carry lip gloss or chapstick for me and my girls. Their lips always need loving with the delicious flavors and they like to have glossy lips. Love your bag!!
I always carry a book. You never know when you'll have a chance to read for a minute or two! (my MIL used to carry a hammer!!! I still can't figure out why!)
How cute is that tote!!! You are so talented! I would so love to be the winner! My purse...If I don't have anything else in it I have a tube of chapstick.
Thanks Michelle for everything you have taught me. You are one of my inspirations! Now to get on to business.....Something I carry with me in a little sandwich size ziploc bag is all the coupons I cut out each week for Joann's, Michaels and AC Moore. Wouldn't want to shop without those 40% off coupons. Don't want to leave those suckers home on the counter. As soon as I snip them out of the paper, they go in their little bag in my pocketbook.
I love your little bag - I do miss sewing -
I have too much in my purse, wallet, sunglasses, coin purse, checkbook, lots of worthless receipts, coupons for all the craft stores (important stuff)
Barb
That tote is awesome! I love you blog. You are so inspiring.
Since I go everyday to university, I've decided to bring a very special 'first aid kit':) It includes little chocolate candies wrapped in different colours (some are with cherries in it, so I put them into a red scrap paper and so on), two pens of different colours, a ticket for the bus, money for coffee machines and...magnetic games such as chess and backgammonXD I looove playing during the lessonsXD!!
I never know whats inside my purse.When you have kids, they put all kinds of things in there. I do have a minnie mouse figure in my purse for my friends 2 yr old daughter. It entertains her when we are waiting for our daughters to finish with their dance classes
Always prepared with lipstick and chapstick, my glasses, a tape measure which comes in very handy to measure everything from craft store finds to dollar store alterables, a credit card for all those "have to have" craft/fabric store finds, but the most important thing is my digital photo key chain the holds are my wonderful photos of my precious children and granddaughters.
Your little tote is absolutely adorable!!
I finally had to downsize my purse because I ended up carrying everyone's EVERYTHING! So now I just have my wallet, glasses, lip balm and comb.Oh yeah.....and a "bumblebee" figurine from 'transformers" that my 4 year old grandson insisted I carry! The tote is adorable. I so wish I could sew!
Love the tote and LOVE your blog!! I have a wallet (huge), keys, lipstick, cell phone and gloves in my purse at the moment.
This is the cutest tote/goodie bag! You are always so clever. Well, my purse usually seems to end up being by 18 month olds pink & green diaper bag! I just can't carry around her, a purse and a diaper bag. LOL! Anyway, you would find my cell phone, decorated checkbook, diapers, baby wipes, jar of peaches, spoon, biter biscuits and lipstick. That's about it!
Would love to win your adorable tote. Sure would cheer me up. Have been without power now for 11 days. Only able to get on computer using generator and turning off an electric heater. Is that dedication or what! Only for you Mish, Nichole, & Debbie Olson...my 3 must haves every day!!
So cute!!!
What I have in my purse.... some free crochet patterns that I snagged the last time I was at Michaels.
Can't go anywhere without my Burt's Bees Pomegranate Lip Balm!
I love the tote. Doing my best to figure out how I can copy it. Used to sew but just can't seem to find time. OK - the purse. It is amazing how much I can get in it. I have my Blackberry for work, my pager for work, my personal cell phone, checkbook (rarely use anymore but old habits are hard to break), credit cards, change purse, Ibuprofen, gum, some are empty containers, pen, business cards, work keys, house keys,lipstick, tweezers (it is an age thing - you'll get there soon enough), nail clippers, mirror, lipliner, kleenex,my favorite nail polish, nose spray (I've been sick) and last but not least an extra pair of earrings in case I leave the house without any. The only thing I don't carry is a wallet with photos. And NO, the purse is not on wheels! One more comment - PICK ME, PICK ME for the tote. I really do this it is the cutest thing! Your work is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
I have my wallet, Pink cell phone,pens and receipts. I know nothing exciting. I find I prefer an empty purse these days. For the past 13 years I have had everything from binkies to baseballs in my purse and now that my youngest are 4. I am enjoying a more tidy simple purse. Ha Ha
What a cute bag!!! Wow!!! I carry so many things in my purse - mostly the same things as everyone else - checkbook, cell phone, chapstick, etc.... But, one thing I carry in my purse that most women don't is the NCYSA soccer player cards for my son's team that I've been the manager of for 6 years. This is his last year playing - kind of bittersweet!
I have several gift cards ion my pourse because I never remember to use them!!!
I adore this little bag you created... thanks for sharing!
I found you through Melissa - adorable little bag. What's in my purse? Well - lots of stuff because I can never find my ringing cell phone or my camera - which is a wonder it still works because it's always at the bottom!
it's CLEAR to me why your little girl wants this bag - it's ADORABLE :) i'd love to win it - and if i did, i'd give it to my not-so-little girl :)
so what's in my purse? i just bought a new cell phone and i absolutely ADORE it! it's a PINK palm centro... and it has GPS, and FACEBOOK, and EMAIL, and photos and tons of other cool stuff. :)
What an adorable tote...you are so creative. I carry at least one camera and everything but the kitchen sink!
I always have to have chapstick in my purse, can't live without it!
What an adorable bag!!! My purse has always been the family purse!!! Hey mom, put this in your purse, or whatever anyone ones, but doesn't want to carry and won't fit in a pocket, yet they all make fun of the size and weight of it!!! Right now I have an envelope with paint samples in it for the next paint project in the house. Of course they are always empty kleenex packages in my purse and old grocery store receipts. Of course I have all my punch cards from my fav stamp/scrap stores!!! Even a full one I haven't spent!
Thanks for the chance to win this adorabe bag.
what a great idea!!! my purse always has a leash in it, as I like to take my dogs for a ride in the car, even if its just to take my daughter to school.
right now i'm trying to keep my purse very minimal, wallet, checkbook, make up bap, ipod, iphone oh yeah a pen too
lynda in calif
This tote is absolutely adorable! Since I have 4 kids, the question should be what isn't in my purse LOL! Besides my everyday items, right now I also have hair clips, stickers from the dentist, tokens and free bowling cards from my daughter's b-day party at the bowling alley.
Thanks for the chance to win :)
Whoa, there's a lot of comments on here. Anyhoooo, besides the loads of receipts, pieces of paper, gum, pen, and the like, something I always carry in my purse (actually in my wallet) is a picture of me when I was at my heaviest non-pregnant weight. About 18 mos. ago I hit the 50 lb. weight loss mark and even though I've gained a little back the difference is huge and I keep the pic as a reminder to never go back !!!!!!
This is soo pretty :) My mom & I quilt also and she LOVES pink :) Ideas are spinning for Mother's Day
Not sure if I'm too late and if you will post internationally but hey here goes. Love your bag, it is simply adorable. You are so clever. In my bag (purse) I carry lots of tissues, as it's very cold and snowy here at the moment and don't want runny noses at inopertune moments LOL! I also have a hairbrush to make myself look presentable (well I try) and little notebooks and pens to occupy the boys when we out at restaurants etc. I have waterless handwash and an umbrella oh and of course the essential mobile phone. Thanks for the chance at winning your fab bag. Lots of love, Denise x
that. bag. is. too. cute!!!!!!!
I want to grow and be you some day! LOL! Seriously, I would love to be able to sew like that I'm determined to teach my self. I'm too late for the other bag contest but I might try and whip one up for my dd anyway!
Hmmmm....my purse. Well, now that you mentioned it, I am one of those people who go to grab my pack of gum and it's GONE!! My kiddos are constantly getting into it. Better that than the lipstick, right?
This tote is adorable!
My purse is a mess! My friends used to call me "purse whore" because I was constantly buying new ones and changing them to match my outfit or mood. Not any more!
My purse now is a cheap quilted thing I picked up at Kohl's. THe best thing about it is it is durable. I have 2 little boys that love to drag it around the house. Inside you will find my coupons (just incase I find a good sale and need a coupon or two) and crayons to keep the boys busy. Luckily they are potty-trained, so I no longer have diapers and wipes in there too.
Someday I will have a pretty and presentable purse again....can't wait!

I try not to carry very much in my purse because I hate to dig for things so I am constantly cleaning it out. However, a staple that I always make sure to have is a notepad and pen/pencil. It is great for playing hangman/entertaining the kids, jotting down design ideas, or just a place for remembering things until I get home.
What a beautiful tote, Mish...i wish i had half your talents!!
My bag seems to carry everything but the kitchen sink. Yesterday I reached in for my keys and pulled out half a dog biscuit (!)...i have my wallet,note pad, lipstick etc etc, and usually a pack of gum which has one little stick left in it. I'm not painting a very good picture here am I? LOL...thanks for the chance to win!
Wow-What a CUTE tote! Let's see...I think probably the oddest thing I have in my purse is a colleciton of about 20 or so pens. :) I'm a little obsessed with writing utensils. 'Sides, ever since I got a huge Coach purse for my B-day, I keep finding ways to fill it with more stuff! ;)
My purse is my diaper bag, cosmetic bag, trash bag etc LOL
I have so much stuff there! This tote bag is so beautiful, love the color combination they look YUMM-O.
Would love to win!
Had trouble posting grrrr. Must leave one even though it's past noon. I am with Jordan...love the tote! Great colors.
Ever the Girl Scout always have antibac stick, kleenex, band-aid and a utility knife with scissors etc. I have helped many parents cut things with those scissors.
Your blog is great, you make me smile. Thanks.
How absolutely adorable is that? You must post the instructions! In my purse??? Hmmm...Well, right now I am carrying around all of my Weight Watchers trackers to keep myself motivated!
That is the CUTEST bag! Don't you just love Amy Butler's fabric! I do! Something in my purse... is a notebook (altered of course!) where I write down all my workouts in... a goal this year is to workout 5 days/ week... so far so good... and it lets me see what I've accomplished! fun!
I have an "organizer" purse, which means there's a place for everything and everything in its place. But somehow I manage to subvert that plan. Everything is so tightly squeezed in that I can never find what I'm seeking unless it's right on top. My lipstick, for example, invariably works its way into the very depths of the dark interior of my purse. I rely more on the sense of "feel" than "see" to find anything!
I would love to win, what a beautiful little bag!
FABULOUS TOTE! Love the color combinations. In my purse have a mini matchbook that is filled with nail files. I have helped quite a few strangers out with this cute Target find! Thanks for the chance to win!
I think this is the most comments I have ever seen for a give away. I love your blog! Pick me! Pick me!Paula
Cute bag!!! My purse has the normal things.....wallet, lipstick, gum but I also have my coupon holder in there too. Never know when you will stop at the store unexpectedly and need those money saving coupons!
What a sweet bag! I'll tell you what I used to NOT have, but have now-a wallet. I used to carry my money, cards, etc. in the "free" cosmetic bags you get with "gift with purchase". My family must have thought that I was pathetic, b/c I got a wallet for my birthday!

I LOVE the bag you made!! I carry folding scissors in my purse, which frequently come in handy. I have to remove them every time I fly, and I am afraid that I am going to have them confiscated at some point because I forgot to remove them.

well...i carry the normal...wallet, keys, cell phone. i do normally have soem small thing of my daughter's...right now i have three oversized plastic dice that she won out of bubble gum machines. it was amazing that 75 cents worth of junk kept her occupied for the hour wait to get into the restaurant...LOL!!!
i would love to win your handbag tote! it is beautiful!!!
That tote rocks!!! Love it...Let's see, in my purse along with the usual wallet, sunglasses, phone, I try to keep a cute little notepad...one that I've made (embellished). It's fun to hear the comments when I pull it out.
Hi Mish, What a precious tote!! I would love to put my hands on this little gem. My purse, are you kidding, around my house it has a special title "mom's Monty Hall bag". Not only does it contain my stuff, but has an item or two that belong to my DD and DH. I am sure the dog has something in there too!! My favorite thing is the little Swiss Army knife my DH gave me for Christmas. Love the tweezers, they can latch on to the shortest of eyebrows LOL. It keeps me from the dreaded "uni".
Love your blog...you got game girl!! Thanks for the chance to win the tote.
Oh Bless, Do You know my bag is full but not as full as my friends!!! Her boyfriend put a brick in it to see how long she would carry it around before she noticed!!!! It took all day carrying it around before she thought why is my bag so heavy!!!! When she told us this we laughed and laughed, because all our bags are always so very heavy and with what????
I was reading along and thinking that I wanted to ask if you'd share your instructions for the little purse tote and then I got to the part about it being offered as a prize. Yippee! I would love to win it. But if I don't, would you consider sharing measurements and instructions please? I'm a quilter and have made several bags, but none this size. It would be wonderful to whip up some to have on hand to package gift sets of cards in. I could combine both of my hobbies that way.
Let's don't even talk about what's in my purse. It seems to catch everything. I try to downsize but just can't fit everything in--wallet, note pad, cell phone, glasses, tissues, gum/candy/mints, keys etc., etc., etc.
How did you make that adorable tote? Any pattern to share? It's gorgeous!
oooooooooh, this bag is gorgeous! My purse is heavy like a lot of other wives and moms. But I think the camera adds a lot of the weight. I hope I win this beautiful bag, then I will have a little more space for my camera!
Oh my goodness...over 900 comments...always in my purse is a TON of receipts and scraps of paper with songs and artists jotted down, sketches for cards and LOs :) Your blog is so inspiring...I wish I could just come to your house for the weekend and steal some of your talent! Thank so much for sharing all your great creations!
Your tote is stinkin cute. You are so creative. I try to keep my purse light but I do carry wallet,small note pad, pens, small santizer, keys, makeup case, small brush, cell phone, camera, coin purse, receipts, mints, small phone book with business cards. Way to much stuff. I would love to win you tote. Susan N. (Not curtis)
My purse is like most others, with this exception: I carry a finger puppet of Lamb Chops :) in case the little girl who sits in front of us in church gets fussy...she'll lean over her Daddy's shoulder and I "dance" little Lamb Chops for her and she settles right down!! Love this little bag, maybe I'll be lucky!

I carry my camera in my purse, but I always forget to charge the batteries!
I love your blog...I visit it EVERY day!
i just bought a new purse yesterday! I havent actually bought myself a purse in almost 12 years!! I had fun "transferring" my stuff from my old one to my new one! Not too bad, really. Mostly old receipts, used chapsticks, movie stubs, my wallet which is brimming full and bursting with more stuff, a granola bar and a fruit bar. I used to have lollies to pacify my girls in long lineups etc. but my purse just ran out! :)
I always carry a tape measure. No I don't sew. But you never know when you might need to measure something LOL. Your bag is so stinkin cute and I want it!!
Let's see...I have my favorite pen and a notebook because I'm always on the look out for new ideas...and my reading glasses...burt's bee's lip balm and gum,usually the fruity kind. I love your adorable bag!
I love your tote. I try to be super organized, so I have a couple of zipper bags to contain all my essentials. I don't like a lot of stuff floating around in the bottom of my purse.
Wow, you have almost 950 replies and it is early.
I have a stack of punch cards and discount cards in my purse.
I carry 3 debt cards in my wallet....NOT 3 different debit cards but duplicates of the same card because I tuck it all sorts of places and if I just had one, I would never be able to find it. I know that people out there are cringing right now but that's how I roll :)
Now lets talk about that adorable tote, can you reveal the pattern brand and number so I can make one too. I never win anything so I'm gonna have to make one of my own :) Thanks for the chance to win though.

I love this bag! Well done. This will sound funny but what I'm knowing for always having in my purse - kleenex and band-aids! Must be from being a mom and now a grandma because any time I am out anywhere and someone needs a Kleenex or a band-aid, they know who to come to.
Well I am pretty simple with my purse. It is small; holds my wallet, my keys, my phone and a few make up items. I sometimes stash fruit snacks and treats in their for my kids, but it is not that big so that can be tricky. I love the tote. Thanks for doing this.
