my happiness project

From the 2011 Brisbane Ideas Festival, these are my favourite entries to the My Happiness Film Project, asking people to document what makes them happy. These short films made ME happy today, aren't they ace? Especially that first one. I like lots of things that Sophie likes. I think I'd like Sophie an awful lot too. What a champ. And spinning around? Well that's fun any old time. And pigtails. They're great too.

You can see more entries here.

Peats Ridge Festival 2009

Awesome.

knitti gritti

Over in Melbourne there, as part of a community-based, contemporary arts and cultural festival Big West Festival, they have plans to knit an entire bridge. A whole bridge man.

If you're in Melbourne you can watch the daily progression of the Big Knit onsite at the Stockbridge during the festival and there'll be a casting-off celebration on Sat 28 November. Otherwise you can follow the progress on lovely blog Three Buttons (she'll be walking by every day) and also the Big Knit blog.

If that wasn't awesome enough, the festival is also working on an extensive guerrilla knitting campaign across the neighbourhood, with the help of hundreds of knitters.
