Along that same vein, what about a clutch purse or messenger bag? I know the messenger bag is all the rage, but I find myself without appropriate clutch purses at weddings and such. Just a thought.

How 'bout matching checkbook cover, tissue holder and eyeglass case? Almost every site has some design for these. Or a nice calendar? There are some nice ones here: Hope this helps! *

Love this hanger towel- great idea. If you would be willing to share your pattern, certtainly would appreciate receiving and making for grandkids to keep stuff organized in the bathroom instead of "stuff" everywhere.

Tote bags are ever so useful and if they garden a garden themed designed tool carry bag.

OK... I'm retired and I love tote bags. Simple, no pockets necessary, pretty embroidery on front - just something simple to carry....... 1) stuff to a sewing class, 2) book and glasses for the car, 3) current knitting project to a friend's place, 4)library card and glasses to the library to borrow books, 5) small bag with flap to hold Sudoku book, pencil and eraser......
4) and 5) with more masculine embroidery for the men would work a treat.

I just love tote bags. Love them all and use them all, especially the simple ones.

I'm "retired" too, hee hee hee. How about one of those note pad and pencil holders you can magnetically attach to the fridge? Or perhaps in my case, velcro to my forehead, since I lose all the notes I write myself anyway, hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji

Mini bags/packets.... like to hold tissues or other necessities? Or maybe some glasses cases?
