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!

That sounds like fun Heather! Can you imagine all the badges we would have done if everyone lived near each other and could help each other out.

Sounds like we should all get together and have Karen show us how it's done :)

That's funny, Krista! I didn't mention the wax that ended up all over my kitchen! I had to buy a new throw rug yesterday...haha!

I love to make candles and I love to use natural products to boot. We burn candles all fall and winter! :) I’ll have to look into starting those badges! :)

Debbie, that sounds like fun. I attempted candle making a couple years ago. It didn't turn out so well. I will need to find someone around here like that to get me started. Great work on your badge.

Her products sound really nice, Debbie. Candlemaking sounds like fun. I am planning to start my candlemaking badge soon. Maybe I can order some of her products to help me. It is always more to to make things when I don't have to worry about the products that I am using!

I have been working on finishing my candlemaking badges. For the expert level, I had to do some research on a candle that is available in my area. We have a local candle/bath shop in town that is ran by one of our own ladies. My daughter and I recently took a class from her and we were able to see exactly what she uses in a few of her products. We made candles and also bath bombs when we had extra time. The wax we used for the candles was a soy/coconut oil blend. We didn't use any coloring in them but did choose a fragrance from the many that she custom blends. All of her ingredients are eco friendly and non toxic. I would not be concerned about using any of the products that she sells in my home. If you want to check her out, you can find her at penelopessoapsandsuch.com.

Thank you Nancy. I worked on it a little bit more last night. I only have 6 more rows of blue and then I get to add in the red and white cords. I am getting so excited.

So here are two more drawings for my Make it Pretty Merit badge. All I need to do is watercolor these two then I only need to draw and watercolor one more. This is fun!
I really like my giraffe, he’s so funny.

I will have to share an update soon Jill! I have completed a couple more rows, but I would like to hopefully be halfway through the blue before I share again!
