WISHGHAN CAL – Week #9 Bouncing on the Bellflowers

WISHGHAN CAL WEEK #9: Bouncing on the Bellflowers

Bellflower Grove is where Whimsy comes across a musical performance. It is a magnificent symphony of bells as the fireflies who reside there make the flowers chime by bouncing on them with their bottoms.

Lit by firefly light, it is a party every night to be sure!

If you haven’t had a chance to read my children’s chapter book, WISHWEAVER, you can find it at most online retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, IndieBound, Target, and Walmart! Written for ages 7-9, WISHWEAVER would make the perfect gift for the special kiddo in your life. Especially ones who love adventure, bugs, and magic!

Book Two in the Tales of Whimsy series, The Wayward Wind, will hit the online retailers on August 28th! Whimsy’s story is far from finished, and I can’t wait to share more of it with you.

“Whoa,” was all Flit could manage.

The only thing that separated the color of the skies above and the color of the flowers below was the rim of trees that surrounded the grove, lit now by firefly light.

The sounds of the fireflies filled the grove as they squealed with glee, zipping this way and that, dancing on the air currents and enjoying themselves in the rising moonlight.

Nighttime Post is a sticker pack all to do with the fireflies at Bellflower Grove, some of which are messengers who deliver letters for those who reside in Weyburn.

While this Wishghan CAL posts will always be here for free on my blog, for convenience, I’ve also created one giant 70-page PDF file for those who would like to purchase a copy of all the files together in one place along with a photo tutorial of connecting the squares and doing the final border. No searching through posts necessary! Plus, it’s over there now, should you want to work ahead of the group rather than wait for each week’s new square. You can purchase this pattern for a small fee here on Ravelry. It is also available on Etsy and LoveCrafts.

Make sure to post your finished squares/rectangles on social media:
