Our stay at home orders in Los Angeles are going on three weeks now, and we’re not going to lie, there have been a few moments of stir crazy-ness so far. We’ve found it’s great to have a running list of (*highly optional*) projects to turn to. That way when a general mood of productivity or inspiration hits, we have the list to pull from! Here are a bunch of ideas we’ve jotted down so far. Would love your adds and edits in the comments!
