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!

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 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.
Making memories, building connections, and adding color and magic to every day life!

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

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 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!

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.

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

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.

Over the weekend I worked on my expert origami! I am very pleased with how it turned out! I initially had plans to just make one and give it to Everleigh, but it is so pretty I want to make myself one now! We decided to add some rhinestones to give it a little more dazzle. It is double sided with the exact same design on the back, so it would be perfect for the rear view mirror.

Nancy, can you share your Easter chick when you get it out? I would love to see it.
I will Debbie! I hope I can work on it this weekend when things slow down.
