Snowman!

I finished the snowman on my Advent Calendar. I was very happy with my progress until I realized that I have 34 pieces sewn out of 192. 
 Really? I don't know if this will be finished by Christmas.
 I am going to try hard to work on it though. Santa is up next. He will be on the right side.

I am more than halfway finished with the plastic canvas tissue box cover. 
I have been working on it while watching the FIFA World Cup Soccer Matches. 

Hubby and I have been enjoying the better weather around here lately. We went down to Jones Beach and saw a beautiful sky.

We also celebrated 33 years of marriage yesterday. We had dinner out at a waterfront restaurant.

My Easter lilies have bloomed. They are quite lush and beautiful this year.

Whenever I receive a lily at Easter time, I plant it in my yard once it is warm enough outside. Some of them come back each year.

I am joining Kathy for Slow Sunday Stitching. I am going to start Santa's boots today. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Your Advent Calendar is very intricate! That snowman will cool you off on a hot day. I’m looking forward to seeing Santa materialize over the next while.

    The sky is gorgeous and so are your flowers. Good luck on the number of your sewing projects. The Snowman did turn out well.
