Carryall, shmarryall....

[AmbassadorBri]

Okay, so I bought one of those Moschio Large Carryall's and I guess I thought that it might be a smidge bigger. What the heck do you keep in yours? What good uses/suggestions? I love the color.... Now, I just need to figure out what to do with it since the zippers are too narrow to fit my 10" netbook into!

I've put computer cables and other related bits into mine (I think Jenni mentioned that first and I copied her). I've also put a small box of watercolour paints with a block of watercolour paper, and brushes etc into it. Used a ziploc on the inside just in case.

Some people have used it for a knitting project apparently - I like to leave the ball of wool in the bag I'm knitting from and I think the zippers would catch on the wool so I haven't done that YET.

[AmbassadorBri]

Ah...Well, I don't knit.... But, I think the cables thing is a good idea. Did HH ever do a laptop cover/case?

I use mine to carry around documents. Sometimes i use it to carry diapers when I don't need a diaper bag. I love it though. :)

I have a Shih-Tzu. Will he fit inside?

[jennirane]

Great idea for a thread! I have a Violet one (FABULOUS color!!) and have only used it for cables, power plugs, batteries, etc. when I've traveled, but want to use it the next time I REALLY travel (weeks overseas) to collect all my papers (maps, museum ticket stubs, train schedules, etc.) I would think it would also be good for receipts (hmmmm... might need another one!) like if you have a flex plan at work and need to save all the different types of Rx and co-pay receipts, stuff you don't want to file away forever. As Sally said, they're good for a variety of hobbies... scissors and such for scrapbooking or pencils and a small sketchpad if you're an artist. Moms heading off on road trips could keep extra game cartridges or DVDs in it...

I should stop. I need more Michios... and this thread needs pics!! Show your Michios in action, ladies!!

Bri - that missing bay leaf must have cracked something. :)

I do love mine. I can't wait to get more. Or maybe I should just sew my own. :)

I put dipes/extra kid clothes/wipes case in mine, too. Sometimes snacks. Fits great inside the Ibiza, Trophy, on top of the Maldives. Surprisingly can stand on its own, too! I have it in Violet, and I loved hooking it on my stroller the other day, just looked so cute and vibrant! I also tried it in the Bleecker (the blue one I returned) and it was ok.

I use mined mine for undergarments in my carry-on luggage that way security knows to NOT flash all my lacy bits to everyone.

I've also used mine for cords, magazine cutouts, mahjong tiles and first-aid kit. I built a hurricane kit for my MIL with a michio carryall.

[jennirane]

Bri, you need to build an emergency michio herb kit

[enga4]

Lulu: WOW! Super ideas!

Jenni: Herb? Are you refering to that bc/cali stuff again?!

[lulu3955]

i was wondering that myself

[jennirane]

Well, *ahem* I thought I was referring to Bri's bay leaf crisis but if double entendres happen, I have no control over them :)

[AmbassadorBri]

HILARIOUS! I am going to pee in my cheap outlet mall pants... Well, I don't think he noticed that the bayleaf was missing... Oh well. LOL! Great ideas, ladies.
lulu- A hurricane kit? How did you fit a charter bus in there?
Jenni/Enga- ha ha! This is the most I've laughed in a long time!

[EYE HEART BAGS]

I NEED TO SEE A Moschio! so I can get the joke! Someone go take a picture for me it only takes 2 seconds! Although the cheap outlet mall pants was funny anyway!
