Rebel Fest

Well, last weekend was my first ever rebelfest and it was absolutely amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed every single session and joined in with as much as I possibly could. There were a few things that I didn't take part in but still watched the sessions. All of the talks were really interesting and it was lovely to join chat groups and meet a few new people too.

I put in an order with the badge store to guarantee my place in the cup next year and am very happy to have been able to get another Bader badge so I'm ready for another year. I've also volunteered to run some of the book club sessions so I think that will help me with the new Rebel community badge due out next year. There are a few more badges that I'm interested in as well and I'm giving myself a tough slog for next year with the 1000 hours outside, as I don't think that will be an easy one to go for...

I bought the 75 cup point badge and also decided I'd go for the 100 point badge as well after finishing November on the grand total of 82. I am now frantically trying to finish off a multitude of things to make sure I hit 100 before the end of the year. I have deliberately not counted how many points I can get and am pushing myself to finish as much as possible and hoping for the best. 

I think I can accomplish the following points by the end of December:

- Rebelfest

- 2x online meets

- quarterly challenge of 2nd birthday badge

- winter challenge

- rebel historian

- Bader artwork

- my collection

- rebel buddy

- national noodle day

- detective

- builder

There are a few more badges that I'm not a million miles away from completing and may possibly get those done too but the detective and rebel history have been part of the 2nd birthday badge so I am prioritising those ones. 

Off to do a bit more work...

Fossil preparation

I'm starting the palaeontology badge this week and have been doing a bit of research into how to make my own fossils because this sounds very exciting. I've been getting prepped to do a lot of badge work over the next six weeks and I think the fossils will be the first one. Plaster of Paris has arrived, as have my dinosaur toys and I picked up some modelling clay on the way home. The weather forecast doesn't look great for the weekend so I think badge work will win!! Although perhaps not Big Kid Summer... I went to watch Six! The Musical last week so I'm going to review that for the critic badge and try to organise a few more things to watch/listen to so I can get working on that in earnest. I've finished the reader badge, strictly speaking, but I'm in the middle of a book and want that to count towards it so I'm not officially finishing until tomorrow then I'll claim it. I've done everything else and started in April, so just need to document all my

Final craft 1 project

I've done 4/5 craft projects for craft 1 and have been struggling over the final one. I have a couple of craft kits that I could use that match the brief but when I've started them, they've looked really rubbish and I can't see an actual final product coming out of them. Then my lovely friend had a baby so I'm making a quilt for her, which I had always intended to do. Had another look at the criteria and quilting is right there!! Hoping to see her at the weekend so I should be all set to finish the badge by then. Just need to get it done now. Still have my endangered animal book to finish to claim animal lover and haven't made my scrapheap challenge product yet so looking forward to getting those done. It's going to be a busy few days. Also need to bake a sausage dog cake. I think that work are having a Macmillan coffee morning next week so I'll have to get my bake on this weekend and see if I can make a decent start on the baker badge. I don't usual

September Part-way Progress

 September has been a bit of a slow month so far as the back-to-school carnage is still taking precedent. I feel like I'm getting to grips with things a bit more now though and finding a bit more time to spend on badges. I've been so tired in the evenings that I've not had the energy to do much. I'm getting into more of a routine of stupidly early mornings now though. I took part in the Bader team chat on Facebook last night and thoroughly enjoyed being able to talk about badges for a bit with other people who are working on badges. People at work find the whole thing very entertaining and are always asking what badges I'm working on and what crazy things I've been up to in the quest for points, but they don't really get it. I'm still battling my way through Madly Deeply for Rebel Readers book club this month but I'm really finding it hard to get into. It was clearly written with the intention of never being read, therefore isn't very engaging. I
