  • Let’s work on three vintage craft projects together while we survive winter! Thank you so much for your patience, I have been sick and haven’t been in a good state to film videos. But I put this one together when I was feeling better and we’re gonna do some cozy slow living activities together like altering thrift store clothing, coloring in vintage paint by numbers, and fixing a vintage crewel that I found at an antique shop. Let me know how you’re doing this winter in the comments below!

    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.

    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!🐈‍⬛🥰👍💜

    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. 🩷

    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.

    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 CZcams videos for tips and inspo. Great to see your cats so cuddly! All the best and hope you get better soon.

    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. 😊
