Way to go Denise! You are on a roll!
Nancy, I hope you can get it figured out.
Heather, that's awesome you have more to apply for. I am getting ready to start a couple of the garden badges.

| I feel ya Heather! I always end up submitting in bulk but I still discover several I could have submitted months ago. I spend so much time on a computer at work that I don’t have the desire to get on my laptop on my days off to do my badges and jump on chats! |

Thanks, Krista!
I got it figured out with your help! Just a simple mistake! I understand finding badges that I could have submitted earlier. With doing so much to earn badges and keep up with stuff that needs to be done, it is sometimes hard to keep up with what needs to be done for what badge. What had been completed often gets overlooked in the busy days of doing things!

| I like to see the latest badge awardees to see all the great stuff everyone has accomplished and glean some ideas. But it says the chat is locked. Is it just me? |

It is just that way because it is set for no comments on it. You can still read it. MaryJane is the only one who can post there.

| I wasn’t looking to comment, just to read it, but it wouldn’t let me see any posts at all but it did before. |

Denise, that is awesome!
Debbie, you are on a roll. I finished my second mail art swap with the April swap. I still need to write my 3 letters. I got busy outside this weekend planting seeds and then sidetracked with another badge lol. Once I mail those letters then I can apply for the intermediate and expert.
Shenandoah, I am glad you got it figured out.

My first macrame keychain is done! Well other than hooking the keychain loop on. This pattern was super enjoyable and I would like to make another one in the future. I learned the larks head knot and the double-half hitch knot.
I have 2 more keychains to make.

Krista,
How do you put that onto a keyring? What a great pattern!

Denise, the kit came with some of those basic keyrings and has you just tie it on with another piece of macrame cord. But my remaining cord piece is too small, so I am trying to figure something else out. I will show my next one once its finished. Hopefully it will make more sense. It's also a lot smaller than it looks. Ill add it to my keys to show you as well.

I have finally gotten organized to sit down for a few minutes (really that's how long it took me!!) and apply for my first badge in quite a long time. I submitted for the beginner Herbs badge. I had to move my herb garden last year and had to reduce the space available. But I have rosemary, thyme, sage, mint, and chives all growing well. I'm planning to add cilantro, parsley, lemon verbena, oregano, and savory soon.

Can't wait to see the key chain Krista!
Jill - your herb garden sounds fantastic.
I still haven't applied for my badges yet. Hopefully this weekend!

That turned out super cute! I have some macrame cord but I haven't gotten around to learning how to do it yet. Maybe that will be my next rainy day project...

Thanks!
Great work Jill!
I finished the last keychain over the weekend. Now I am ready to apply for my beginner macrame badge.
Over the weekend I also finished my book and 3 letters for the intermediate level of the lost art of letter writing. And this month I finished my second mail art for the expert badge. I can apply for both of those as well.
Then yesterday I started my beginner mosaics badge!
