Krista, that's so pretty! You do need to make one for yourself! Congrats on finishing the Badge!

Thanks! This one was so much fun! I am glad I purchased some pretty paper for it. Even the tassel at the bottom is made from paper.

That's awesome! And a paper tassel too! I would have never thought to do that.

Heather, it was a little tedious to make all those tiny cuts, but so worth it!

I am working on my beginner Farmgirl Gratitude badge. I started on March 1, so I have about 2 more weeks. This badge is really helping me find some positives in this stressful month.

I have also started working on my beginner Nellie Will-Do badge. I chose to do a latch hook project. So far I am really enjoying it!

That sounds fun! I haven't done latch hook since I was in high school. I just checked a book out from the library about Sally Field for the Her-Story badge.

I think that would be a fun book! I’ve always liked her but I don’t know anything about her life.

Marie, I feel you on the UFOs. Mine have gotten a bit out of hand, especially since I had to put projects to the side to tackle unexpected weddings, babies, graduations, etc. Speaking of weddings, my daughter (and fellow farm girl) Cordelia (Coracal I think is her handle) is getting married tomorrow! So I have been working on bouquets, hand fasting cord, and other items that fit her rustic gothic theme. She is a taxidermist so I had to incorporate bones into the bouquets and such. Took some finagling but figured out how to make vertebrae work as bouquet rings.

What vertebrae did you use? It looks so cool. I have used chicken vertebrae to make a necklace. I wear it at Halloween.

Marie I have no idea lol - I'd have to ask my daughter. Definitely larger than chicken. Not sure if it is coyote or what. I'll have to ask Cordelia.

I wouldn't think that bones and flowers would go together, but those look surprisingly good! Nice job!

One of my daughters does amazing things with bones. I'll attach a couple of photos. She's having good success at Craft Shows.
