[@maryannlongley6843]

The happiest, most coziest winters are spent with 🐈 cats. I love them❤❤❤

[@emilyretro]

So true! 😻

[@debbiedew1]

I'm so glad you're back, I missed you 🤧 Hope you feel better soon.

[@emilyretro]

I kept checking to see if you dropped a video. I hope you feel better. I have been working on 25 cross stitch ornaments I am making for my great niece.🌻love the pillow🌼

[@emilyretro]

Wow that is one lucky family member!!! What an amazing gift 🤩

[@dianewilliams9729]

Emily!! So great to see you again. That is the cutest pillow in your lap. Your cats have really grown…amazing to see the change in their accepting your touch. Hope you recover completely soon!

[@emilyretro]

Oh my gosh it’s crazy to think how I couldn’t get close to them at all before and now they follow me everywhere 😂❤️

[@617883]

[@emilyretro]

Ugh yes, they’re always there! 😂☺️❤️

[@tcoladonato]

@@emilyretro - I remember your story from one of your other videos about the feral. Thank you for being a loving, wonderful fur-Momma.

[@shanalong1508]

I'm so glad to see a new video. I was worried about you! Glad you are feeling better. Hoping Spring will be a better season for you. 😊

[@emilyretro]

It has been, thank you! I hope you’re doing well ☺️

[@jaimesherwood8464]

This was one of my favorite videos of yours. I'm sorry you have been sick but I hope your immune system is recovering for a healthy rest of the year! I never thought about using markers instead of paints for "paint" (color) by number - love that Idea! I definitely also need to get on the finishing half done projects train as well! love how cuddly your kittens are now.

[@emilyretro]

Yes, markers with paint by numbers is SOOOO fun! Happy spring 😄

[@markiecrossmandixon7343]

Glad you're feeling better! I wish I lived nearer; i've been a qulter for a very long time- and binding is my favorite. Dangit.

[@JuliaZoeller]

I have an owekoti for fall. Green with mustard and rust ginkgo leaves.

[@krisquail8896]

Always cheerful to watch your videos. I have been decorating new heart shaped candy boxes to look vintage with ruffles, ribbon, and artificial flowers. I also have been making junk journals that look vintage or antique.

[@emilyretro]

Oh my gosh I loooove those vintage candy boxes!!! What a cute craft idea 😄

[@brennagreenglasspeacock]

I LOVE your pillow!! 🌼 Great job ❤ I’ve been trying to finish some projects lately myself because I’ve been off work due to chronic health issue. Can’t wait to see your quilt & skirt if you show them in the future. Feel better soon lady!

[@emilyretro]

Thank you and I hope you can get some relief too from not feeling well! ❤️

[@lindadonovan9159]

So happy to see you again! I’ve missed your videos. Wow, the kitty cats have grown and are so cute. I’m glad you finished some craft projects. They turned out so nice. Good save with the smaller frame. The pillow is wonderful, great colors. I always get a feel good boost when I finish up a project that has been waiting for some (my) attention. Weather is a little wacky here on Long Island in NY. We had a little snowfall one day earlier this week. It’s pretty much gone on my sunny side of the street. You are so kind to your outdoor kitty. She is blessed to have you. I so like how she visits her daughters. Sweet. I hope you continue to feel better. Remember the sun is rising one minute earlier every day and setting one minute later every day. Spring is on the way. 😊

[@emilyretro]

Yes so true, I’m watching the sunset get later each day! Thanks a bunch for watching ❤️

[@audreysmith4212]

Hope you feel better!! Seeing you shovel snow reminded me why I left Michigan haha This "winter" (I live in TX now) I've been thrifting a lot, decorating, and enjoying my animals. I plan to re-decorate my rabbit hutch/coop this spring and I am REALLY excited about that! Loved seeing all your crafts.

[@emilyretro]

HAHAHAHA! Glad I could give you a reminder of Michigan life 🤣 have fun redecorating that sounds amazing 🥹

[@neomabates7620]

Seeing your video made me happy. I really like your vintage collections. And your kitties are perfect companions. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@dianajemison105]

I'm sorry that you've been sick. But, you seem to have been very productive. Doesn't it feel so rewarding to finish something that you mad3 with your own two hands? I love that. The homemade letterman sweater is so cute, and a great idea. I hope you feel better soon.

[@emilyretro]

Thank you so much, Diane! Yes I love finishing craft projects that are long overdue ☺️

[@clockworkshadows3226]

Great video. I enjoy seeing what craft projects people get up to. I'm a crocheter as well, though it's been a while since I've had the motivation to do crochet. At the moment I'm fooling around with making my own iron on patches and will have to look at some KZbin videos for tips and inspo. Great to see your cats so cuddly! All the best and hope you get better soon.

[@emilyretro]

Oooooooh I didn’t know you can make your own iron on patches, that’s so cool! 🤩

[@NewbyCrafter-bd5vz]

So sorry to hear you've been sick, but so glad you're feeling better! I've missed seeing your videos. I enjoy watching you craft, which is inspiring for me. I look forward to watching your video for the quilt made out of sheets. But you can make a video about anything and I'd watch and enjoy it. You're enjoyment of all things vintage is contagious! All the best!

[@emilyretro]

Aw thank you so much for being here 🥹❤️

[@nancysattictreasures2778]

So Good To See You!! I hope you feel better soon! I have those half finished projects too. Your kitties are beautiful. And I can see both of them are a great help to you! Lol. Take care and hope to see you soon!

[@emilyretro]

HAHAHAHA yes they are so helpful, especially when the project involves yarn 🤣

[@janrobertson2006]

Hope you feel better. Love your projects! Missed seeing you. Love your channel.

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch for being here ❤️

[@marymogckmishmashmary]

Glad that you’re feeling better and able to do a video missed you and your kitties. It was so adorable to see their mom visiting them through the window.❣️

[@emilyretro]

I always say, “kitties your mom is here!” And they know what that means and come running 🥹🤣

[@poodlegirl55]

Nice to see you Emily, all your projects are adorable and yes, it feels so good to get things done. I have been quilting, crocheting and all sorts of crafts this winter. I have become addicted to slow stitch videos on KZbin, it's so fun to start and finish little projects in a day or two. Nice to see your kitties so happy and at home.

[@emilyretro]

Oooooh I’ll have to look into slow stitching videos I’ve never heard of that. Thanks for sharing 😄

[@creatingwhimsy5536]

I finally finished a crocheted temperature blanket that I started…. In 2017😳😳😳

[@emilyretro]

HAHAHAHAHA thank you for validating that crochet projects take forever 🤣👏👏👏

[@4minuty_]

Pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍😘

[@emilyretro]

Thank you! ☺️

[@queenvader8675]

Love the Life update, your kitties and the craft projects! I truly hope you're on the mend and wish you a happy and positive recovery!

[@emilyretro]

Thank you so so much! ❤️

[@leanndoolin4284]

So good to see you, Emily! And your sweet babies.❤ Sorry to hear you've been struggling with your health. I hope you're better soon. I, too, have been trying to catch up on craft project, as well as doing some 'spring' cleaning/purging. Take care and hope to see you again soon. 😊

[@emilyretro]

I looooove spring cleaning and purging. Have fun!! 😄

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Hi, Emily! We have missed you! Glad to see your video. Sorry you are having a rough winter. I know what you’re going through. I literally hibernate in the winter. I don’t like gloomy weather and I hate big snows. I stay indoors and work around my house. I do laundry and declutter when I feel up to it. The only time I leave the house is to go pick up my groceries or my meds. Or to the doctors. I have friends but most are working or doing other things. I don’t mind being home because I love my home. Looking toward springtime. My daughter’s birthday will fall on Easter this year. Looking forward to that! Hugs to you and the cats! From your southern Michigan neighbor!🐈‍⬛🥰👍💜

[@emilyretro]

Hang in there, Sharon! Spring is almost here. Have a lovely Easter with your daughter ❤️

[@lisalevinson633]

Your video updates are among my most favorites. thank you for the links- I always wanted to learn how to crochet and your daisy pillow is a great inspiration! Love that Blossom visits you and her daughters! take good care.

[@emilyretro]

Aw thanks a bunch! I hope you try the crochet video it helped me a lot 😄

[@dianalytle2816]

Your projects are amazing!! I want to learn how to crochet!! So glad to see a new video. Your kittens are so cute🩷 I hope the remainder of your winter goes well and that you stay well. I'm looking forward to your future videos.

[@emilyretro]

Thanks a bunch for being here, Diana!

[@bonesareheavy]

I was just thinking a few days ago "What's new with Emily?" and here is the video! ❤ Love all the completion crafts! Your pillow is precious! My winter activities are taking advantage of the cooler weather to get stuff done outside (weeds and repainting my house) because after April the weather is horrendous in Florida. I loved seeing your beautiful snow!🌨

[@emilyretro]

Oooooh best of luck painting your house! ☺️

[@bostoncharm1]

Hi Emily! I sure hope you get better soon!!! I love your pillow!!!

[@emilyretro]

Thank you so much! ☺️❤️

[@ellenengle2767]

It sounds like we’re having a similar winter! I had a cold the first week of January, and I swear I’ve had a runny nose since. I’ve also been working on making a quilt! It’s the first one I’ve made all by myself. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out. 🩷

[@emilyretro]

Omgggggg getting your first quilt done is such an achievement!! I’ve only done 4 quilts in my life and I’m working on my 5th, they’re so much work but worth it! 😄

[@ellenengle2767]

@@emilyretro It is definitely a labor of love 😅 But it’s so rewarding to see it come together!

[@JillR805]

The kitties are so big now! Loved the craft projects. Hope you are all the way better soon!

[@emilyretro]

I know! They won’t be kittens soon anymore 🥲😭

[@kenwardk]

So many fun projects. Love seeing your furbabies too. Keep on crafting!
