An Ode to . . . the Unabridged Dictionary!

I bought this dictionary almost 10 years ago on a whim. Now it resides in a prominent place on our homeschooling bookshelves, or it did until I started doing L&L. I keep pulling it off the shelf to weigh down projects. It helps hold down pesky lace motifs, it straightens out hem-lace backgrounds, and now, hopefully, it will save my bacon with this new lace strip project.

Maybe I should add it to the ingredients list!
