End of term

 
Ok, the school year is FINALLY over and it's Christmas and badging until the end of the year! Nothing more and nothing less! I have so many badges that just need a little bit to finish them off and a couple of additional things I can do to get some more points. I have one more badge order that I want to do at the beginning of January and then I am imposing a ban until I have earned all the badges I have started but not finished, or bought and not got round to starting yet. The only other badges I am allowing myself to start are ones linked to the quarterly challenges.

I need to get a move on with my quilt as well. Very few badges have actually been sewn on as it's a pain to change the bobbin all the time and I want the thread to match the colour of the badge. It's going to be a very busy and mismatched quilt but I'm ok with that!

Goals for next year are to complete a few patches with the aim of becoming an ultimate rebel at some point. I'm also going to take part in all of the yearly challenges so I should have plenty to keep me busy!!!

Where I'm at...

 I am being completely useless at keeping up with this blog, although I think it's because I haven't done a huge amount of badge work over the last week or so therefore haven't had much to update. I'm still reading plenty towards my Reading badge. Need to include some non-fiction books as I'm an avid fiction reader and this is pretty much what I default to. I only really read non-fiction when I need to learn about something and tend to go for the internet, rather than a book. I'm on the lookout for a challenge to start when I finish reader and can move on to advanced reader... I've made a really good start on a scrapbook, which will earn me the scrapbooker badge. It's all organised and laid out. I just need to actually make the pages now - the bit that takes the longest!! I've been doing quite a bit out in the garden while the weather has been nice, which is helping with quite a few different badges. I'm concentrating on making it a nice environm...

Badgemin

 I've done loads of admin towards my badges today and I'm feeling very organised!! I've got a large notebook and labelled a double-page spread with each badge as I start working on it. Any photos I've taken linked to projects will be stuck in there, along with any writing or notes needed. I have also listed which badges I am going to work on to try to gain each of the patches. I'm two days into my gratitude journal for the diarist badge, and I'm also working on calligraphy for the craft part one badge so I'm writing a quote each day in calligraphy to practise my lettering. It's not great at the moment but hopefully I'll see it improve as time goes on. I've been working in a hand lettering practice book and watching some youtube videos to help me. I've been through my craft supplies and have a kit ready to start a scrapbook of a holiday we went on to France last summer so that will work for my scrapbookers badge. Really excited about getting s...

Toooo many badges

 Just discovered that the app doesn't publish on my blog, just saves it as a draft. Not overly helpful... I'll just have to make sure I log in on the laptop regularly. I'm making some good progress on a few badges and I've started a couple more that I wasn't planning on starting at the moment, so that's great. I'm trying to gain as many points for Bader as I can, so am making the most of being off work and doing whatever I can at the moment. I've ordered a few more things to help me with different badges so I'm pleased with how everything is going. Progress since my last post: - bought two lavender plants to pop in the garden for the Rebel with a Cause badge - ordered a straw hat to make a buttoned hat for the May bonus - ordered a diamond art kit for the craft badge - found my hand lettering practice book and calligraphy pens for the craft badge - started the buddy badge with two other rebels, working towards photographer and my style - read a coupl...
