[Badge] Earnings Report

Here are some of the ways you've been earning badges lately:

"I'm running a Yarn Love Camp for my business this week, and I'm sending these out to my campers as a thank-you. They're perfect!" - @yarnloveyarn through Instagram, needlecraft badge

"I completed a full year's worth of commuting 30 miles by bicycle each day five days a week," - Jeremy through Facebook, cyclist badge

"...my job in the [U.S. Air Force] is weather so I got this patch to wear on my vest and it’s perfect!" - Nicole through Etsy, cloudspotter badge

“Patches to commemorate Millie's first year milestones…” - @ginaschlosser through Instagram  (pictured above), multiple badges

“I'm keeping my kids home this summer and treating it as a summer camp, with merit badges.” - Rob through Etsy, multiple badges

“Fostered a dog this month. Had a lot of laughs. And occasional frustrations. He went to a wonderful family. I got this badge.” - @lovebasedlifeform through Instagram, wildlife study badge

I love seeing the goals everyone has set! That's my favorite part about this project—it's all what you make of it.

You *Can* Do It

I'm so pleased to introduce a new badge that'll encourage you to give pickling and preserving a try! I'm calling it the "Can Can," because I'm hoping you'll find that you can do it! It's the perfect followup for those of you who prepped your gardens with us earlier this summer. Hopefully you have an abundance of things to harvest!

If you want to learn more about canning, you can also join Hobby Club. It looks like this month we'll be creating jams and jellies, making our own condiments, and then giving pickles and hot sauces a try. I'll be blogging along, too.

There are only 50 of these up for grabs (enough to fit in a small mason jar, as you can see above), so don't delay if you're thinking about ordering one.
