An Eye Opener During Uncertainty

 Hi there! It's been a while since my last blog post since back in the month of March. With the stress and anxiety of this pandemic we are currently dwelling in, we were engulfed in trying to transition from a daily freedom we once had, to having to transform our lifestyle significantly from social distancing from immediate family and close friends, to working from home, and just staying home in general. It has definitely opened my eyes that daily life luxuries can be impermanent and that the future can be uncertain. Never again will I take those small moments and freedoms for granted. It has me contemplating on what really matters in life and discovering that all I have to hold onto is love, hope and faith.

You can still make things happen and let it not be a waste, even during a pandemic.

   While sheltered in place, we've been working on side projects for n i n n a l u i n s p i r e d. Before the crisis, I was about to get ready to join as a Maker at Folsom Sutter Street's Wolf Home Decor in April. While that was on hold, we continued to create in hopes that one day, things will reopen again. 

 

 

I've also revamped my home office to be able to accommodate a wall full of healing stone wreaths. Also provided a storage space for all my craft supplies too. Follow me on Instagram @marissa_ludaily. Since my meditation corner was removed from our bedroom, I've moved it into the office as well. I never got rid of my CALM sign. If you missed it, here was a previous DIY. 

 

   

   Finally on May 23rd, 2020, the same day as Wolf Home Decor's re-opening, we were able to successfully set up Trinity's wreaths and desktop holders. All future in-person workshops will be held at Wolf Home Decor, the first event is on June 28th, Sunday from 3pm to 5pm. The address is 815 Sutter Street Folsom, CA 95630.

My Art Oasis

 

 

I had the idea to set up my crafts in the courtyard this past weekend. It was such a beautiful day that I decided to paint outside. It almost felt like an art project oasis for me. Definitely therapeutic and also filled my time while staying at home over the weekend. Although it was temporary, I easily put everything back in its place and my courtyard was back to normal again. Who knows, I could set up in the backyard next time I'm inspired to create. 

 

Below is the heart chakra I painted. 

If you missed the Instagram Live from @makeandtake_hostedbyninnalu,

I do have to share with you, going towards my third weekend of staying at home, staying productive has been a bit of a challenge. Simultaneously, gathering events have been postponed or cancelled, we are unable to share the art experience in real life to many people within our community. Summer is also approaching, and the uncertainty of not being able to share this craft with others is almost saddening to me. As a result, I am offering local deliveries of the Make and Take painting kits through Ninna Lu's Facebook page until April 26th, please shoot me a message if you're interested: https://www.facebook.com/Shopninnalu/

Thank you so much for all your continued support!

Stay healthy and safe.
