Both (and also "impudent") are closer synonyms for "cheeky" than "ornery" would be. Just today, I've read about an "ornery" cat, and had no difficulty imagining it. Can't imagine a "sassy" (or "cheeky") one, though :) - Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace] Tallies
Cucumber tallies are made with the workers of 2 areas - 2 trails, or a diamond block and a trail, and the square tally is worked, then the workers go back to their respective sides and continue doing what they were doing before! Cucumber tallies are wider than they are long. - Just another variation, to keep life exciting!! I think they are mainly used in Beds lace. Often there are 2 trails by the footside, and cucmber tallies hold them together. from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
