I’m calling you out!!!! On a roll … call, here’s where you can read about the amazing accomplishments of Sisters who earn Merit Badges. “Hear YE!”
Wondering who I am? I’m Merit Badge Awardee Jane (MBA Jane for short). In my former life …
For weeks now, I’ve been planning to outfit my favorite craft store clerk with her own homemade, ruffle-icious apron. That drab and sad thing she wears is depressing and doesn’t do anything for her figure. Of course, I realize it’s part of her uniform, but there’s no way management won’t approve the little number I’ve got up my sleeve!
I’ve been inspired lately on Pinterest …
Paula Ann Leyva says: So cute I’m doing aprons too, but for my husband’s group of Coleman collectors, those men need to have pockets for all the little parts to their Coleman lanterns!

For my newest Merit Badge, Bee Good to Your Mother Earth, I am attempting no small feat. Well, it’s kinda small if you’re going to compare me to my neighbor, Mrs. Over-Achiever Gardener, but I have to start somewhere. Someday, maybe, perhaps, if I dream big, I can compete with her award-winning pumpkins, larger than life zucchinis, and heirloom tomatoes, but for now, I am setting realistic goals:
An herb garden.
Cheryl Hockaday says: That is bee-utiful.
MaryJane says: Thank you Nan! I think I’ve seen your website. South Carolina, right?

Howdy, girls! MBA Jane here. Working on my Beginner Level Farmgirl Grammar Badge. A new word every day for two weeks—whew! That’s a lot of reading in my big ol’ bright-red dictionary (but it totally matches my new red shoes, so whatevs).
Two weeks ago I asked what your last re-purposed project was for a chance to win a copy of the book Reinvention: Sewing with Rescued Materials.
And today we have our winner! Since my grandgirls weren’t here today, I had to go in search of some other youngsters to help us choose our winner …
Cheryl Fiske says: I make shopping bags too! They’re fun to sew, and I think much more sturdier than the ones offered in stores!
