Rea, I am glad that someone else said it before I got a chance! I have badges that I need to apply for, and the plan is to get some of them done each month! I have quite a few. This will be a great year to get this done!

Well, yesterday I was finally able to sit down and apply for some of the badges that I have been working on this past year! I still have a few more, but was able to make a dent in my applications.
Yippee!

Krista, that's a really good question. I think I'd like to start the Dyeing for Colour badge. I do a lot of dyeing for my business, but that's just one type of dyeing. I do dyeing with my 4H kids, so that would be the Beginner level, I just would need to write that up. During Covid, I started a natural dye course online and I'd really like to finish that up this year which would take care of the Intermediate level. I haven't tried quite a few of the techniques for the Expert level or it's been ages (tie-dye). This would help me with my goal to finish the course.

Great plan, Jill! Go for it! I don't do dyeing yet, but I have made socks from yarn that I bought from a woman who spins yarn from the sheep that she raises on her farm.
Hope to hear more as you progress with the badge!

Jill, that sounds like a great badge to get started on. I hope you can get them completed.
Great job Nancy! I bet it feels great to have them all applied for.
