Tag Tuesday - Not Paper

Louise has really given us a challenge today: to make a tag for Tag Tuesday but not out of paper. It reminds me of some of the things I thought might work when I was a young child. Once I tried to tie big flat rocks under my feet to make sandals. That didn't work.

And so, I don't really think that this tag I've made "works" either, but here it is. I made it from some crocheted pieces my mother did years ago. The wood leaf is a gift. The flowers and  green leaf are fabric. I think I'll call this "I'm just gonna 'leaf' it as it is."

    Faye, the crocheted pieces as your tag are a wonderful idea! Just what I had in mind:)

    I think it's reflective of your memories, so that makes it important! Looks great Faye, love the little roses.

    It is how it should be - reusing things so that they can be appreciated all over again - especially as your mum made them.

    Great job. Love using the small doilies. Your comment about the rocks made me laugh. It sounds like something I might have tried. Debbie

    I think that is a very clever tag and I laughed at the title...very appropriate! I have not done a tag yet, still trying to get inspiration :)

    Hello again, Faye...in answer to your question, for the moment I am living in Lagos, Nigeria. If you look just under my blog header you will see a title "about". Click on that and you will see a little bit more about me :)
