It’s Wednesday. I need some happy things to get me over that hump in the middle of the week. I thought you might, too; so, some of the things that have made me smile recently:
- Looking through diptych photographs of people and their things. In his series, Persona, Atlanta-based photographer Jason Travis combines portraits of people with snapshots of the things they are carrying. It is really fun and fascinating to see the objects that people feel they need to carry with them on a daily basis. This series speaks to the anthropologist in me. [Founds via Flickr Blog]
- Listening to Rangers by A Fine Frenzy from One Cell in the Sea
- Checking out the work of db-db design business. I’m especially loving the Nudemen Numen series of applications. I might just have to get the Nudemen Numen Camera app soon! [Found via CreativeApplications.Net]
That’s it for now! Happy Hump Day!! Hope you too find something that makes you smile.

I just finished watching the 2006 documentary Maxed Out. It was absolutely terrifying.
Also, I never knew just how awesome Alan Greenspan is…
Also, this movie was completely terrifying.
Also, I love Netflix!!
Also, did I mention that the movie was freakin’ terrifying? Really. I dare you to watch it.

It’s Wednesday. I need some happy things to get me over that hump in the middle of the week. I thought you might, too; so, some of the things (objects, ideas, activities, music, etc.) that have made me smile recently:
- Exploring Flickr photos using Flickr Hive Mind. It is inspiring. Why not try it for yourself? Perhaps you could search for knitting or rainbows or trees… In particular, I found this photo while exploring and can’t wait until my hand knit sock drawer looks like this, or rather until I have enough hand knit socks to dedicate a drawer to them.
- The Japanese Traditional Monster Kit – Check out the video. [Found via mr x stitch post]
- The Usborne book of Drawing doodling and colouring – Ever since I saw this book on Lucy’s blog, Attic24, I have been enamored. I think that I just might have to import it…
- Ingrid Michaelson‘s rendition of Over the Rainbow from Be OK
- And finally, my newest addiction: stranded knitting!! I haven’t yet finished my Endpaper Mitts but I couldn’t resist casting on for a pair of Fiddlehead Mittens in the meantime. They are simply flying off the needles… Want to see them? Ok… if you insist…
That’s it for now! Happy Hump Day!! Hope you find something that makes you smile.
I enjoyed putting this post together. Perhaps it’ll become a regular feature…
