I was a bit worried going into row 6 thinking it was going to be a real pain doing so many separate elements and having so many ends to hide. That row ended up not being too terrible and it went fairly quickly so I moved right into row 7.
I am happy to report that we actually had a pretty nice weekend. For the last several years my husbands family has made it a point to all meet every year on the same weekend in Walla Walla. The weekend always involves going to the annual car show and parade and we get the bonus of getting to see the nephews play in soccer and basketball games. The days are filled in between with lots of outdoor games, good food and fun conversations and nights are just as fun with sitting around the fire pit making s'mores and playing games. Since the drive is almost 5 hours both ways I got in quite a bit of tatting. On a not so happy note I found I made the first join in the row incorrectly...freakin again!!
Some of the little 5 petal flowers that you have to join this row to got a bit funky and the very first one I joined to got twisted. To top that off I have run out of core thread with only 2 more chains to go. Now I have to decide whether I will be ok just leaving the first join as is or if I should cut off a bunch of elements and have to deal with hiding lots ends. This doily has been a trial in patience and I am not loving it so I am not sure what to do. I guess I probably should spend time on the cross stitch project anyway so I will try to take some time and think about it.
