Yep, World Cup fever has seized the nation again - I do enjoy it, but I have every sympathy with those who don't, given that it's pretty impossible to escape!  I managed to pull South Korea out of the sweepstake hat at work, so my hopes aren't high, but they did beat Greece 2 nil today, so who knows - that'd teach them all for laughing at my draw!

I've finally sat down with a view to making something this afternoon - only managed one make this week, which you can see here, but I do like those brass washers.  Good job, I've completely run out of silver wire (boo hoo), so I'll have to settle for a different metal.  I may even try and make a replacement for the snake ring I lost a while ago (is it only my house it's possible to lose a whole bunch of rings in?  And is it just one step from that to unwittingly storing my keys in the fridge, as a friend suggested..?)
