Smalls SAL

It's time for another 2016 Smalls SAL check in. Guess what? Even with all the craziness of going and going I was able to keep up and finish June on my Year of Whimsy pieces.
  Finish 16 -- June 28th
A Year of Whimsy by Dimensions (Out of Print)
Stitched on Perforated Paper
Used Suggested DMC
Started whole project for DUCJC Jan 1st, 2016.
Started this one June 20th, 2016. Took 4 Days.
 
I didn't think I would be able to get it finished up in time. I'm so glad I did. Now to find time to squeeze out July even though the month just started it's a busy one coming up. 
 
I also got 2 days into the Elshire Family Crest restart. Oh my goodness I just LOVE it!! The new pattern is perfect so far. Here is my progress...
Here is a reminder of what it will look like...
I'm starting on the banner at the top if you can't tell. I just hope I can work on it fast and get it finished quickly for my Grandpa. It's detailed like a HAED. Can't wait to see it progress more.

I am so happy you have a new Family Crest chart to stitch. Your Graduation Owl is a perfect choice for a June Whimsy. Happy you have been able to keep these going.
