Butterfly Cocoon

With all this time that I've been spending at home, I've been doing a lot of beading. Ava asked me to bead her a butterfly, so after spending some time looking around for something very special for her, I found just the butterfly that I wanted. It took me only less than a week to bead, and here are some pics of it.

I mailed it out to her yesterday. Can't wait to hear from her after she receives it!

My Rainbow

I stumbled upon a website where you can take a quiz to find the colors of your personal rainbow. Mine's kind of dark...

Your rainbow is intensely shaded white, gray, and black.

What is says about you: You are a powerful person. You appreciate quiet moments. People depend on you to make them feel secure. You depend on modern technology and may feel uncomfortable without it.

Find the colors of your rainbow at spacefem.com.

I miss AVA!

I can't believe how much I miss Ava. She called me up tonight, and while I was talking to her tears started pouring down my face. I know being there is the best thing for her, but I can't stand not seeing her.

I guess I will start another CARE package for her. Sending them makes me feel better for some reason. Maybe because then I feel like part of me is with her. She wants me to bead her a butterfly, so I am trying to make a butterfly hair clip and earrings for her.

Since I'm not working right now, I'm learning how to live on very little money. By the time I go back to work I'll be so good at it that I'll be able to save up every spare penny (after I pay off my back bills) so that I can take a trip to Seattle and see my little mija. I can't wait until I can see her again, but I'm afraid it's going to be a while. Thank goodness for phones and mail in the meantime.
