The Sleepy Jackson's Good Dancers. Stunning.
There should be more spontaneous dancing at work.

Happiness is...
Coming home to a bunch of fluffy sunflowers. Mr littlechrissy also bought a real life Christmas tree, which has been re-potted and is sitting happily on our back deck, just waiting to be adorned.
Happiness is also spending a rainy afternoon in the kitchen making baked goods to give as gifts at a Christmas party this evening. On the menu? Cinnamon Drops and Cumin Seed, Chilli and Parmesan Shortbread. Divine.
All beautifully packaged of course - I've put them in little brown paper bags, tied them with string and attached a mini-garland made from scallop-stamped Brisbane maps from the Yellow Pages that get left on our doorstep every year, yet NOBODY uses them. (apologies for dark shot - it's been raining all afternoon and is a little gloomy at casa de littlechrissy)
Happy days. x

littlechrissy's Hottest 100 - Number 69
Is there anyone who doesn't love The Beatles?
So much talent.
This gets added points because of the rooftop location, with the band nestled in amongst the Mary Poppinseque chimneys.
Apparently they're playing on the roof of Apple Studios in Savile Row on January 30, 1969. (Thanks Wikipedia - you're always right, right?)

Bacteria is good for your health
Newsflash - a little bit of dirt and bacteria in your life is good for you.
Ditch the anti-bacterial handwash and celebrate nature's tiniest creatures with a petite wall hanging dedicated to micro-organisms and the glorious patterns they make.
This gorgeous little wall hanging has vintage brown notebook-ruled fabric as a backing, with a doily round and a cluster of plastic re-purposed buttons to represent the spawning bacteria.
Science has never looked so good!
Adorn your wall with one by heading here or here.

Time to get organised
In our house, the calendar rules supreme.
My sieve-like memory means if something is not marked on the calendar, then it ain't happening.
Which was why I was so delighted when the gorgeous girls from Organised By Art generously gave me one of their calendars AND a yearly planner in return for me doing a wee little bit of editing for them. Talk about Christmas generosity.
Are these not utterly divine?
Best of all they are eco-friendly, printed with soy-based inks on 100% post consumer waste paper. Which means you can start your new year with a blank page and a clean conscience.
You might want to mark on your current calendar a memo to check out their 2011 range, and the stories behind the artists and designs. Find them right here.
