This month we've been crafting a lot! Stringing beads, stale cheerios, melting beads, sorting colors and mixing them back again; as well as jewelry making (bracelets and necklaces, (though my kid has commissioned me into making her dog collars and leashes/harnesses for her stuffed pups). I've also almost finished a big ol' fabric box for storage! fun fun! In alignment with the advice I have been given/assigned,  I am trying to narrow down my professional and or personal goals.

Finally got a book in this month! I read Island of the Blue Dolphins. I remember it being a book assignment in grade school and before reading it this time only sort of remembered it was part of the "survival" storylines that are so popular. The one I compared it to was Hatchet, though after reading it, there are very specific differences- maybe, I'd have to get over the what felt like millions of pages of water discription, which was like probably not that long actually to read it again to be sure- and I am only talking first books here; Brian was dropped suddenly in a survival situation where he didn't know much but how to possibly use his hatchet. This would be a very big trial by fire situation. Karana on the other hand is left on her home island with her knowledge of her people's customs and island layout. Yes, she had a trial by fire experience but, I found, this story to be more of a mindset shift of how to survive rather then Brian's complete learning
