I did a little bit on the new tag. Working out placement of rings. Some of the stitching I have to wait to do when I can work in the sun as I do not see as well as I use to. The prompt here was to do button hole or blanket stitch around a ring and what ever else you wanted to. I also did my first piece of needle tatting (little white ring) and had a circle left over from an earlier tag I had done so I stitched running stitches around the edge. A ring of stitches. Now I need to work out placement. I do think I need to add one more ring as an even number is not pleasing to the eye. Has to be 3 or 5. I will keep working on it. I have time.
I am also working on giant paper clip embellishments for the junk journals or for sale. 
This is the first one I finished. It will clip onto the side of a page and measures about 2" x 2". This is the one under construction.
I am still working on the placement and what I want on it
That paper clip is plastic. I wish I had more of them. I got a package of clips at a 2nd hand shop for $1.99. I ordered metal one from Amazon (I think it was 3 or 4 to the pack) and I think they were 3 or 4 dollars or more for the metal ones. The pack I got at the 2nd hand hand shop had 10 in it. Quite the score.
Had to go out to the post office to post a package. Was not looking forward to it as I wanted to spend time working on the tag and embellishments , but did need the walk. This old woman has to do that. Need to get dinner arranged so had better get moving. If I don't do it I will have to starve. Ya right. Ta for now.
