Rebel with a Cause

 More progress has been made towards my Rebel with a Cause badge. I have gathered the equipment to make a bee bath, bought some more seeds to plant for pollinators and also have an insect house to put up, although they are only useful to one type of bee. They'll help other insects though, so that's good. Weather doesn't look great today but the forecast for the weekend is good so I should be able to sort some things out over the weekend.

Still reading lots so making good progress with my reading badge. I've ordered two books about bees, which will help with both badges, so that's good. They should arrive today.

Scrapbook is progressing nicely and I've ordered a tilted board to put on my table, so I should be able to work for longer periods of time without my back starting to hurt, which will be good. 

I've also made a birthday card for my brother-in-law so will count that towards the birthday badge. I'll sing Happy Birthday to him in Latin as I have been practising, so that can count towards that as well. I would have loved to do the Life Less Ordinary badge but I'm v limited to what I can do at the moment because of my back, so new things are a bit of a challenge. I am also a bit particular about collecting the badges and LLO sold out...

I have a straw hat waiting to be decorated with buttons so that needs doing very soon and I need to sort out a play to get some points for May. I haven't got many points so far, being so new to Rebel Life, so I'm grabbing as many as I can in my quest to be a good Bader member.

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

Progresss

It’s been a  bit of a tricky week to make much progress as I’ve had to go to my parents as I can’t be alone after the surgery yet, so haven’t been able to do a huge amount.  However, since my last post, I have made a start on a few things: - bought a cactus and an orchid to work on the indoor gardener badge - started to hand sew a rabbit as part of the designer badge and potentially part of the builder badge as well because it is part of a kit but I don’t know if I will be able to use it for that or not yet… - arranged a pottery day with a friend of mine who does her own pottery as part of the craft badge - started a journal to record progress - ordered some wool to knit Christmas presents for two special people - ordered the rebel with a cause badge and a load of stickers to start my rebel journal  I’m hoping this bank holiday weekend at home will give me a good chance to make a good chunk of progress on getting some photos taken and a couple more things set up ☺️

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
