"In our monthly meeting we learned the history of origami. We all made cranes. We all practiced different other origami. There was lots of books and paper to be had. Fun craft !

Debbie Klann (#770) has received a certificate of achievement in Stitching & Crafting for earning an Intermediate Calligraphy badge!
"For my intermediate badge, I continued practicing with different size nibs and also colored calligraphy markers. They are some of my favorites to use.
I practiced my calligraphy this past Christmas by using it to make out all of my cards and letters."

Debbie Klann (#770) has received a certificate of achievement in Outpost for earning a Beginner Stargazing Chicks badge!
"I spent the first 2 weeks of October stargazing. I kept a journal of things that I was hoping to see, things that I did see and the weather.
The five brightest objects in the night sky are:
1. the moon
2. Venus - its clouds are highly reflectie
3. Jupiter - its sheer size
4. Mars
5. Mercury - the smallest planet in our solar system. It can only be seen during twilight hours because of its close proximity to the sun.
Ways in which stars differ from planets:
1. They are much farther away than planets
2. Stars have higher temperatures
3. Stars radiate energy so they are very bright.
4. Planets do not generate their own energy through nuclear reactions. They reflect sunlight, which is why they appear brighter in the night sky compared to stars.
5. Stars twinkle, planets do not. Their light may appear to change colors.
I diagrammed Ursa Major and my favorite constellation, Orion. It's always been the one that I look for."

Debbie Klann (#770) has received a certificate of achievement in Outpost for earning an Intermediate Stargazing Chicks badge!
"I kept a stargazing journal for almost 3 weeks this past October. The weather was nice for night viewing and early morning viewing. I kept track of the weather, when the stars came out and what events were upcoming that I wanted to see.
I was able to track Jupiter's moons over several nights. Binoculars worked ok but a telescope would be so nice!! We didn't have a light pollution to deal with but I was not able to see the Milky Way during those 3 weeks.
Our farm hosted an eclipse party in August 2017 as the eclipse was happening directly above us! We had several hundred people camping here for the weekend. What a once in a lifetime moment!"

Debbie Klann (#770) has received a certificate of achievement in Make It Easy for earning an Expert Macrame badge!
"For my final macrame badge, I decided to do something completely out there...because, why not?
My granddaughter is crazy about cats and has one very regal cat :) I decided that Kit needed her very own throne/hanging chair/bed!
This took awhile as I was still learning, and re-learning how to do different techniques, but I think it turned out fun!
After the hanging bed was finished, I was really missing a knotting project. My son in law saw a picture of one of these wallhangings and asked if I would make one to auction off at their sports fundraiser. I was happy to help out!
Doing these macrame badges have been one of my favorites...I think it's really relaxing and love how you can make something from literally nothing. I plan on doing more of it in my future. I have a new project in mind already.."
