Knit and Destroy Cupcake Cushion

At the summer craft candy fair at the millennium galleries, I got my boyfriend to enter a competition to guess the sweets in the jar at Knit and Destroy's stall, and guess what we won! I never win anything, so this is a first! Thank you to the wonderfully talented Kandy Diamond of Knit and Destroy for this lovely surprise.

My lovely new old globe

I have been wanting a black globe for ages, after seeing one on Etsy way back. I finally got myself this lovely vintage replogle globe from Ebay, I love seeing all the old names for the countries such as Indo-China and Rhodesia and the steamship routes across the globe.

Now I just need somewhere to put it and I need to stop spinning it with my eyes closed then pointing my finger randomly at the globe and deciding thats where I want to go on my next holiday, not sure that far north Russia , the middle of the Pacific Ocean or the wilds of Borneo are places I'd considered for my hols before but maybe the russian island of Novaya Zemyla is the next Thailand waiting to be discovered!
