I am excited to begin working on my merit badges and sharing my experiences with everyone! After much debating I was finally able to pick the top 4 badges I plan to accomplish first!
I chose….
1.Pampered Pets (Outpost)
-It’s important to me that my pets are healthy and will live a long happy life. Knowing what is best for them will allow me to enhance their life.
2. Bread Making (Farm Kitchen)
-I have always enjoyed cooking and now look forward to a better way of cooking.
3. Embroidery (Stitching and Crafting)
- Would love to make something special for my baby boy just like my Grandma Butters made for me.
4. Water Conservation (Cleaning Up)
- I love the idea of helping save the planet as well as help me save money on my bill.
With that in mind, what merit badges do you fellow farmgirls plan on accomplishing first? Or working towards right now? Any of them hold a special meaning that drives you to accomplish one over another?
Much luck and enjoyment in your merit badge experiences!

My first macrame keychain is done! Well other than hooking the keychain loop on. This pattern was super enjoyable and I would like to make another one in the future. I learned the larks head knot and the double-half hitch knot.
I have 2 more keychains to make.

Denise, that is awesome!
Debbie, you are on a roll. I finished my second mail art swap with the April swap. I still need to write my 3 letters. I got busy outside this weekend planting seeds and then sidetracked with another badge lol. Once I mail those letters then I can apply for the intermediate and expert.
Shenandoah, I am glad you got it figured out.

I wasn’t looking to comment, just to read it, but it wouldn’t let me see any posts at all but it did before. |

I like to see the latest badge awardees to see all the great stuff everyone has accomplished and glean some ideas. But it says the chat is locked. Is it just me? |

Thanks, Krista!
I got it figured out with your help! Just a simple mistake! I understand finding badges that I could have submitted earlier. With doing so much to earn badges and keep up with stuff that needs to be done, it is sometimes hard to keep up with what needs to be done for what badge. What had been completed often gets overlooked in the busy days of doing things!

I feel ya Heather! I always end up submitting in bulk but I still discover several I could have submitted months ago. I spend so much time on a computer at work that I don’t have the desire to get on my laptop on my days off to do my badges and jump on chats! |

Way to go Denise! You are on a roll!
Nancy, I hope you can get it figured out.
Heather, that's awesome you have more to apply for. I am getting ready to start a couple of the garden badges.

I need to sit down and apply for some more - always the hardest part for me :)

Thanks, Krista! That is my next step. I thought that the problem was fixed because the last two times I did receive my emails.

I just got my three levels for the My Fair Farmgirl badge. I'm working on reading a book and doing some handwork. As soon as I finish I will get those applied for too.

Nancy, I am sorry that happened. I personally haven't had that happen. Have you tried sending an email to the Farm?

Hi, All! Those are some really great projects...they are inspiring me to keep working on my Badges!
I have a question. Is anyone else having problems getting their certificates and badges emailed? I was, but I thought that it had been fixed. I was awarded two badges on April 2nd, and I have not received an email. I saw that the two badges were posted, so I have been looking for my email. I checked my Junk mail because that was the problem last time.

I now have my macrame cord! I am hoping to sit down this weekend and learn some new stitches and make the keychains. I'm also down to only 40 pages left in my book and I can apply for another badge. How are your badges coming along?

Thank you Denise and Jill.
Jill I helped my dad make a macrame plant holder back when I was in middle school. I don't remember anything from it, so I am relearning. It has been fun.

Those look great Krista, another skill I'd like to revisit. We did a unit on macrame in grade 8 art class, but I haven't tried since then. I have two glass floats and bought the yarn to make supports to hang them, but it's going to have to wait for me to clear my plate a bit.

Those are great bracelets Krista. I love macrame. My sister taught it to me when I was around 12.
Debbie,
I will be gifting them.
