Kindred Studios Open House

The Kindred Studios creative community opened their doors today and I popped along to have a nose around. I was so absorbed that I totally forgot to take any photos of the artists' studios but you can find out all about them on their Instagram. The studios are in a huge converted Victorian school with high ceilings and white painted rooms that are flooded with light. I've never seen anywhere quite like it. I chatted to several of the artists who all talked about loving being part of a creative community and sharing their ideas. It felt like it should be a model that is followed in every town, a place that values and celebrates the creative industries and gives people a proper space to pursue their passions. Wonderful.

This weekend we went for a beautiful walk in the woods. I bought some paper decorations for the little ones so we took them with us and played around taking photos of them blowing around in the breeze. The pink looked beautiful against the green of the leaves and I loved the contrast of nature and paper.

Pompoms

I remember making pompoms when I was little and thinking how amazing it was that wool could become this cute fluffy ball. This year I'm making lots of them for Christmas for the little ones in my life. It's a very relaxing way to spend a morning : )

I found this cute tutorial that includes making multicolour pompoms that reminded me what to do!
