Anyone who has been reading here for a while knows I am a HUGE fan of Lazy Girl Designs. Well, Joan has gone and won me over again with her latest design - the Lily Pocket Purse."Flirty, fun and full of pockets to stay organized. Lily is a handy, dependable and stylish companion. Wear Lily from your shoulder or cross-body to rest comfortably and securely at your hip."
This is my first Lily - done up in Moda's Happy Camper fabric. Lily features this cute pleated front ... and on the back she has a great little cell phone pocket. Interior pockets, and a top velcro closure round out her "take and go goodness."
My Lily has already been to work (which often involves cross-campus hikes), to the playground, to the baseball park, to the Dr's office, to the grocery store, to the farmer's market, and to the quilt shop. She's held up to every trip like a trooper - giving me easy one handed access while still being secure, lightweight, and just downright FUN.
She even held TWO baseballs, three pairs of sunglasses, a wallet and a camera - all in one evening!!!
I'd like to share Lily's wonderfulness with one of my readers - so I am giving away one Lily Pocket Purse pattern... (just the pattern - you provide the rest!)

(at least I have good intentions to do that!)
(oh - and this is the back of Lily - with that great and handy little outside pocket! It's deep enough for my LG enV 2 phone to ride

tennis balls for the dog, feathers that I pick up on my walks, flower seed heads that I pick as I'm going along, ketchup, vinegar and sauce packets, dog biscuits/chews. A small toolkit that contains pliers and screw drivers ( well you never know. I'm amazed there's any room for my purse and phone really.
I'm a member of the FB group and I've made a few runaround bags this year which are on my finished slideshow.
Love and hugs Gina xxx
As for the strangest thing I've recently carried in my purse, how about a spider in a baggie so my dh could check and see what kind of spider I got bitten by!
I really need to make myself a new bag. I should put a deadline on it for before the October retreat! lol
I always have a camera, flashlight,and measuring tape in my purse.Sometimes there are rocks that I pick up when visiting a new place.

I'm already in the Facebook and Yahoo groups, mostly as a reader and not a poster. You can see my favorite (and first) LGD bag at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LazyGirlDesigns/photos/album/1325530196/pic/131945858/view?picmode
The strangest thing lately I've had in my bag is a bag of cherry tomatoes that a co-worker gave to me. I threw them in my purse when I left work, and when I got to the grocery store, put my hand in the bag, there they were! HOLY COW.
Anyway thanks for the giveaway!

Love your patterns

I do have photos, but I'm not technological enough to know how to connect you to my photos!
I've made the Claire, Townpurse, Margo, Maggie, and Wonderwallet. I just bought the Chelsea Tote. I even got my friend who is more into scrapbooking to make her first Lazy and she loves it!!!
msgooldrup@gmail.com
I've made a few LG bags... Claire and Miranda come to mind right at the moment.
Thanks for the chance!
1. I follow Lazy Girl on Facebook.
2. The weird things I carry in my purse? Mini stapler, water bottles, white=out, Tums, Measuring cups and spoons, (picked them up at the fair) my neice's socks (she left them on a sleep-over) cookies, dog treats, and tictacs. Plus the regular stuff.
I have made some Lazy Girl purses, but don't have pictures, sorry!
Thanks for the chance to win. I have been seeing stuff about Lily on FB, and hope to make one soon. Thanks.

And I've enjoyed your camper version of this new bag
I'm a member of the Yahoo group and just joined the FB group the other day. I've been salivating over the new Margo and Lilly bag patterns. I have Sassy that I'm working on now for my daughter in jellybean fabric.
Strangest thing lately in my purse? - socks for my daughter to try on school shoes and a Webkinz.
Just saw the link to your blog on FB and thought I'd check it out. Love your Lilly bag.
cheers,
michelereilly@yahoo.com
I am a follower on FB already but not on Yahoo.
The only thing I have made by LG is the wonderwallet - no picture though b/c it's not my favorite.
I don't have a lot of strange items in my giant Birdie Bag. My items may be odd to some, but not to a crafter/quilter: scissors, needle & thread, a caligraphy pen (!?!) and a tape/adhesive runner for my scrapbooking.
Thanks for the chance to win a great pattern :)
I will clean up my act! Thanks for a chance at a lighter life!
pkritchie@yahoo.com
I am a fan on fb, and part of the yahoo group! I just added photos to the yahoo group.
I just finished a new claire bag and blogged about it
http://giggleysneedlesandpins.blogspot.com/2010/09/why-i-love-lazy-girl-designs-patterns.html
2) The most recent LGD purse I made was the Margo Bag. Photos of it on my blogspot at http://oceanpeg.blogspot.com/search/label/Margo%20Handbag
3) Some might say that the strangest thing I carry in my purse is a change purse full of AA batteries. Why? Because they are for my DSL digital camera that resembles a 35 mm SLR camera, which usually is in my purse, too. That way, I'll always be prepared if the batteries in my camera die out and can make a quick battery change when needed for the camera...
I also keep some of that Sweet & Low sugar substitute in my bag for when I go somewhere that doesn't have any handy for a cup of coffee or tea ot the like.
Another unusual thing is a screwdriver in the wintertime. Because the door on my car freezes up and I use the screwdriver to force the door open in zero degreese weather.

As far as unusual purse items, the funniest thing was once when I had my dog at the vet, we got a treat (for the dog), I put it in my purse and later my husband was looking for a mint in my purse. So he pulled out the treat, thinking it was a mint and almost put it in his mouth. It was funny, but you had to be there!!

I am a member of the FB page as well at the Yahoo group.
I have yet had the chance to try one of the bags though:(
I have a Collection of LGD bag photos on Flickr, but I think the most recently finished one is my black & white Miranda: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sewamazin/3171201820/in/set-72157606977228196/
Margo, Claire and Maggie are in the to do pile soon ...
I don't know if this is unusual, but I use one of my Sassy's to carry my um, 'supplies' for the Bark Park - pick-up bags, doggie wipes, handi-wipes, leashes ....

I am a long time member of the LG yahoo group, and have posted pics there of some of my bags.
Since I teach a Bag Lady club monthly at 2 different shops I make a lot of bags, and everyone loves Joan's patterns. Need to get Lily so I can show her off and get the patterns ordered into the shops.
I regularly carry a lot in my purses.... include camera, tape measure, folding scissors, and one of the tools that I learned to use when working as an alterations tailor... a small pocket knife that is used as a seam ripper. I also carry my pair of color value filters (a red one and a green one on a chain.)I even make all my bags with a pocket especially for the filters.
Thanks for all the work and the give away.

You never know what you will find in my purse...everything from toy cars and crayons (to keep my son amused) to dog treats and everything in between.

I've been with the yahoo group for a couple of years and of course i'm liking (since there's no love-button to click) all things lazy on facebook too!
And now for the confession part... the strangest, weirdest, most unusual thing in my bag... hmm.... that would be last week when I had a big tupperware full of home made bread dough! =)
Hoping that gets me all the entries and a big bunch of luck (and Lily...)!

So, I became a follower of Lazy Girls on Facebook this morning.
I have been in the yahoo group for quite a while.
Here's a link to a pic of a Miranda day bag I made http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LazyGirlDesigns/photos/album/1629707228/pic/468373050/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc
And, unusual things in my purse - full sized tubes of sunscreen (son plays water polo)
Thanks
I too love Lazy Girl designs. I carried a clothespin recently since I was looking for a certain size and someone at work actually needed one.

I think I've only got a picture of my newest Margo bag - here's a link:

My purse is pretty light right now, but I do have M & M containers from church in it. Our youth use these containers as fund raisers as they are perfect for quarters--although the kids really like the green stuff!
Have fun sewing--I have several projects to work on this week, including a wall hanging for my Mom's birthday on Sunday; she will be 86 years young!
Thanks for the giveaway.

I've made a number of Lazy Girl Designs but haven't taken any pictures. Today I'm making Runaround bags as gifts for the wife and daughter of my nephew who lives in Dubai.

Thank you.
I can't say I've ever carried animals or dragons in my purse, but recently it harbored golf balls, running shoes and sweat bands, cheer poms for football games, lesson plans for teaching, markers and pens, and wood inserts for a tiered plate craft project. I think I might have had my wallet, but definitely NOT my glasses! (You haven't seen them have you??) :) Can't wait to hear who the lucky winner is!

Recently, a huge zucchini (from friend's garden), a pair of slipper socks (always cold feet), my DGS's Lego robot creation ("Yes, Dear, I'll keep it safe for you!"), and the cut-off plug to my toaster (as a reminder... I needed to buy a replacement plug, but only remembered in the morning when I wanted to make toast)... just a typical day....
LOL!
Blessings!!!

*Love* your blog!

LOL!!

Thanks again.
the name of my most special Aunt, and it would bring happy memories each time I used the bag. Besides that
if I can still find the diaper pins, I would transfer them to this new bag.

I will enter Blog Profile if can find..
Strange items carried in my purse are so numerous & well known to Family. They always say "Ask Grandma it's buried in bottom of her bag"
Hope I'm lucky Winner
