Where minimalism and creativity and a love for guns come together...

(Yes the slide actually moves back and the mag falls out!)

 

Bug has been interested in firearms for as long as I can remember. He bought his first gun encyclopedia when he was 2.

 

Fast forward 10 years and enter minimalism.

 

You get a young man with a creative streak that chooses to make his own toys guns

 out of cardboard instead of clutter his room with bulky plastic ones.

 

Don't get me wrong we have our share of Nerf guns BUT

as Bug explains

"I am using my imagination and ingenuity,

keeping boxes out of a landfill,

and making something that can still be recycled when I'm done playing"

 

How can I say no to that?

Momma is making art again!

For as long as I can remember my mother always had a project going. Painting, stain glass, crafts with the kids etc. And while her mediums have changed over the years her creativity hasn't.  My sister and I got worried when her cancer hit a little over a year ago. She lost her desire to create art. And anyone who makes anything knows this a very lonely place to be in one's mind.

After her six month check-up and a family miracle - She has found her new inspiration in paper & thrifted frames. SO I HAD TO GIVE HER A SHOUT OUT!

If you are interested in ordering one, please contact me @ lesliejones94@gmail.com

No more laundromat!

Last week at the laundromat, a front load washer decided to hold my work clothes hostage...for 2 hours! After a call to the owner, she and I moved and took apart neighboring washers to get my clothes out.

So, I have given in to buying a new washer.

BUT! It had to to be eco friendly, be small enough to fit in our little home, and be something that I could do in a decent amount of time.

I found just that! The wonder wash!
I'm in love with it! So fast, so easy, I think Husband can do it!

And the little blue guy in the photo, that's my new spin ringer....amazing!

My only hang up.....I need more clothes line!!!!
