Oh, no, Tamara, no, no. You have to set "embroidery and lace" or "lace and

couple of sample sentences that will open up the rhythms implicit in those
words!

While Ann's attitude is more hoity-toity'ry;
No plain sewing for her -- just lace and embroid'ry.

OK, you win; embroidery is impossible to rhyme with any grace :)

Looks like us spiders have a very long tradition. And talk about preservation of one's work... :) I think, from now on, I'll hang my *Christmas tree*, set the ornaments under it, and let the tree drip on them <g>
