I just logged on an the emblem was there! WOO HOO!!!  The paperwork and badge didn't come in the mail yet so I don't know my number but, WOO HOO! I'm a farmgirl sister! And to top it off the MJ magazine parcel + 2 came in the mail today. 
In the "Awwwww" department, I've been so caught up with finding y'all that my mind has been a bit scattered this week. Today one of the "kids" from our congregation got married and I had the time wrong in my head and missed it.  It was an hour earlier than I thought. Why can't I ever get things wrong in my favor - like remembering the wedding time an hour later so that I would have been early instead of missing it??? Oh well, I took my magazines, laid on the bed and had a little pity party. I'm over it now - at least mostly over it.
But WOO HOO! I'm in the sisterhood!
God bless -

Thanks for all the warm welcomes, girls! I'm so excited.
Chelsey, I'm going for the beginner's crochet badge first. I picked up the yarn Saturday and have made three already! Thanks for mentioning the buttoned up badge - I think I'll start that one next. I have several jars of buttons already but I want to do this the way my grandma did. She sewed them onto strips of cardboard - the thick stuff that's used for boxes. One of the buttons was made from my dad's toenail - it was growing too long (she thought) so she trimmed it when he was sleeping and made a little button out of it.  My cousin inherited the collection but that's ok because I got her sewing basket which is what I really wanted.
Cheryl - have you thought about what project will be your first?
God bless -
Karen

Hey, Chelsey - It looks like my next project will be an apron (while I'm working on the Button Up). I was hanging clothes on the line the other day and thought "I wish I had a pocket to put these clothespins in......I need an apron!" I'd already found the material for it in my long-forgotten stash in the basement and was going to make one "soon." Hopefully soon will happen this week.
God bless -

Dutchy, my girl! There's a whole 'nother world waitin' for ya! Click on 'Home' at the top of this page, then go to 'Join the Farmgirl Sisterhood.' Here's the link: http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/farmgirl-sisterhood/
You can be a part of a local farmgirl chapter (or start one - wouldn't that be amazing!) or part of an online chapter (I just joined the Junkin' Farmgirls). Members of the sisterhood have the hexagon under their online name. You can earn merit badges! Check it out - let me know what you think!

I'm waiting for my packet and for my emblem to show up too. I talked to Sunny at MJ's farm this morning tho and she told me my #. I can't wait. It's so hard to decide which badge to start on!
I'm really enjoying reading all of your posts and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.
