Better late than never. . . Happy second week of May y’all! 😅🌻History According to the Almanac: “May is the month when hundreds of native flowers, sedges, bushes and trees blossom throughout North America bloom. Columbine’s intricate red and yellow bell-like flowers with deep nectaries provide early season food for hummingbirds and other long-tongued pollinators. Lance-leaf coreopsis produces a plethora of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers. Gardeners who promptly deadhead spent blossoms prolong the bloom period through July. Meanwhile large stands of pink-hued prairie smoke create a hazy effect resembling smoke hovering close to the ground. May’s full Moon bears the name of regionally significant flowers and blooms in other regions. In the Southeast, the Creek and Choctaw referred to this as the “Mulberry Moon.” Fruit from the native red mulberry tree have long been enjoyed in many forms. [...] In the Pacific Northwest, May’s full Moon is known by the Kalapuya as “Camas Blooming Time.” Camas blue flowers cover meadows throughout Oregon, eastern Washington and northern Idaho.” More info: https://www.farmersalmanac.com/mays-full-flower-moon 🌻May Scoring Guidelines Category - Flower Moon - Another very easy month - and there’s actually no moon required this time either! Entries must contain flowers/a flower/flower petals. . . get creative! Each of the following categories will be worth 5 pts: -Pattern choice/razzle dazzle -Edges & endings -Knot Tension -Photo 🌻Bonus Points +1 bonus point for choosing a pattern with no photos +1 bonus point for picking a flower/pattern that “reminds you of home” in honor of the many regional names for the Flower Moon. To me this will be the most special part of the month! Just like when we did the worm moon, in order to get the bonus point for this one just write a sentence or two about why the flower or pattern you chose reminds you of home. We all got to know each other a bit through that so I’d love to bring it back! 🌻Multiple Entries Up to three allowed and encouraged! Submit whatever you’d like-bracelets, keychains, bookmarks, wallhangs, etc. Your highest scoring creation will be entered. Ties will be broken based on additional entries! If two people have the same score but one person submitted 2 creations, that person would win for the month. If both submitted 2+ creations, whoever scored highest with their second bracelet wins. 🌕DUE: May 31st. Winners announced on the 1st of June, right before the new challenge is announced!🌕 Late entries are always accepted but at a point deduction for the year-long challenge. Since I was late in posting the challenge this month, we can talk about this if it becomes an issue! 🌻Monthly Challenge Prizes 🥇1st: Shoutout in my bio for the month, 5 bonus points in yearly challenge, loves on 5 patterns 🥈2nd: 3 bonus points in yearly challenge, love or comments on 5 patterns 🥉3rd: 1 bonus point in yearly challenge, love or comments on 3 patterns If you’d like to view the rules and prizes for the year-long challenge, they’re all here: https://www.braceletbook.com/forum/9_challenges/33273_2024-lunar-calendar-challenge-sign-upsrules/#460145 As well as in the powerpoint: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FEV1v5ZQJrAyT_R0YIbctDTYZIzA5D6CYuJ-VxW2AN8/edit?usp=sharing |

My first pattern is #155405 when I was little my nana had red roses that grew against the white archway fence going in the back door, I always wanted to pick them but they had thorns so I was constantly told no 😅 so this will be my "reminds me of home" entry.

I will make pattern #21837, it reminds me of my childhood because my brother, who has the 22q11 genetic defect, often played with dandelions when he was little. They remind me of good things, even though my brother was still in the hospital at that time.

I’ll be doing #148194 as my 2nd pattern! my mom always gives orchids away as gifts because they last a long time and they’re also all around the house, so it reminds me of my elementary school days ❤️

Alrighty everyone, here are the patterns I have so far!@AlmaLlama: #162369(A) @EllaPatlo: #168277 @FlowerB: #155405*(A), #165610(A)* #141297 @J3ssica: #122230 @ jagajaga13: #21837(A)* @LittenGirl: #146168 @ningc98: #168147(A), #148194* (A): Photo accepted *: Bonus points So excited to see some new faces this month! The patterns that have already come in look amazing! Since there are some new faces, I wanted to re-explain one of the rules we added to the challenge late. If the pattern you make has more than 1440 knots, it is considered a wall-hang and counts as double points in the year-long challenge. To find the number of knots, just multiply the dimensions shown at the top of the pattern together! For example, pattern #167252 is 73 x 94, so 6862 knots 🤯 If you ever need help figuring out the math or find a pattern that is a bit too big you would like to do part of, let me know and I can help you figure it out! |
