Block 5 - Bluebird Cabin Progress - Country Cottage Needleworks

Frosty Forest by Country Cottage Needleworks - Block 5 - Bluebird Cabin - Progress as of Friday, January 17, 2025

Frosty Forest by Country Cottage Needleworks

Stitching this on 14 Count Light Blue Aida 


I am on Block 5 - Bluebird Cabin.  Everything is done for Block 5 except for the Bluebird Cabin itself.  I am slowly stitching on this.  Its a Big Bluebird Cabin.  I love stitching on this.  Its a easy enjoyable pattern to stitch.  There are a total of 9 Blocks.  

On Monday and Tuesday of next week - my area will get down to extreme cold temps.  The High's for Monday and Tuesday will be 4 Degrees F above Zero.  The Windchill Factor will be a -30 Degrees below zero.  My Small Town will be dead.  No School and I doubt anything will be open except for two Gas/Food Mart Places in my town.  

Today is Friday, January 17th of 2025.  I went to McDonalds early this morning at 6 a.m. and got my favorite breakfast - Sausage Biscuit and my Large Plain Mocha Frappe.  I get this on Fridays.  I need to go to DG - Dollar General - and get a few groceries and than I am staying in this entire weekend and most of all next week.  

We did get snow the other day but it was in the 30's yesterday and today it will be in the 40's.  I am so glad of that.  

I am listening to Candy Coated Secrets by Cynthia Hickey.  Oh this book is so so funny.  Its a Christian Mystery.  The Sleuth and her Aunt gets into all sorts of predicaments and they are so funny especially her Aunt.  I dearly love this book.  It is so so good.  This is Book 2 in a series.  I don't know what the series is called.  Her Cousin is a Police Officer - the Sleuth and her Aunt gets arrested by her cousin because they keep getting into things where they don't belong.  I am on Chapter 21 out of 32 Chapters.  I am listening to this on Audible. 

I am praying for California - I have a Niece and her family that lives in Los Angeles.  I have not heard anything about them so I am hoping that they are okay.   

That is all for now...

God Bless You

Frosty Forest Series - Block 5 Progress

Progress on Frosty Forest - Block 5 - Country Cottage Needleworks.jpg - Tuesday, January 7, 2025

Frosty Forest Series by Country Cottage Needleworks
Block 5 - Bluebird Cabin 
14 Count Light Blue Aida - Zweigart

I made more progress on this.  The Fence - all of the Snow - the two Bluebirds are completely stitch.  The Trees are done as well.  

I have started on the Bluebird Cabin.  It is a huge Cabin.  It will take me a while to stitch the Bluebird Cabin.  

I just have Blocks 6-9 to do and than this project will be finished.  

Weather Wise - my weather where I live at got down to 10 Above Zero F last night - the night of January 8th. It got down right cold.  My town where I live at was pretty quiet today due to the Freezing Temps.  Tomorrow - Friday - we are suppose to get anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of snow.  Fridays are my McDonalds Day.  I am hoping to get to McDonalds tomorrow for my lunch.  

A close friend of mine has passed away this week.  

Buttercup and I are doing just fine.  

I hope that you are all staying safe and warm.  Prayers for California - I have a Niece and her family that lives right in the Los Angeles Area.  

God Bless You 
Love & Prayers

14 Count Ice Blue Aida - Zweigart

I am on Block 5 - I am hoping that I can get this Block done by the end of this year.  I would love to get this entire Project Done by the end of next year in 2025.  

I am loving this - I do enjoy stitching on this because it is easy and very simple to do.  

We got Snow - not very much of it though - like a inch or so.  Its mostly been very cold - below freezing - right now as I am writing this it is 22 Degrees Above Zero F.  That is very cold.  I did not go anywhere yesterday and I am not going anywhere today either.  I had to clean my car off three different times yesterday.  It is snow covered again due to the Snow that has arrived over night.  

Thank you for your Comments - I really appreciate them very much.  

Happy Stitching
Merry Christmas 
Happy New Year

God Bless You All

Buttercup all snuggled inside of HIS Comforter

Buttercup all snuggled inside of His Comforter - My 7 Year Old Child - Thursday, October 17, 2024

My Baby - My 7 Year Old Child 

My Little Buttercup 

He is all snuggled in HIS Comforter 

There is a Story about him and the Comforter

When I first got him and he was a year old I had
this same Comforter laying on my Library Room
Floor - he would curl himself up in between the Comforter
and go to sleep.  I kept him in the Library Room until
he got use to the house and did not do naughty Kitty Troubles :)

I have this Comforter in my bedroom now laying on the 
floor.  I happen to walk into my bedroom and he was just
like he is in this picture.  I hurried up and took a picture
of him laying just like this in HIS Comforter.  He has a way
of covering himself up automatically without my help.  He is
one very smart 7 year old Kitty.  

Buttercup I just love you :)
