February 2023 Furtle - Fettle Those Finishes Update

February Review / Furtle

As defined by Mini Archie, ‘Furtling’ means ‘having a rummage, a delve, a look at the contents of something’. So I have furtled around to see what I have been doing this month and now I’m going to furtle around the blogs of anyone else who links up over at Archie the Wonder Dog!

-Janine at Rainbow Hare on 2/28/2019

To socialize with my online crafty friends I'm linking up with Mini-Archie, one of my favorite online personalities, and his person for the monthly progress link-up from Fettle Those Finishes! 

I'm posting my weekly/monthly stats here for linking up once a month with Kate at Life In Pieces. My 2023 goal is to stitch at least 15-minutes 50% of the days in the year, same as 2021 and 2022.

• Week 6: 7 of 7 = 100 %
• 82 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 7: 7 of 7 = 10 %
• 82 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 8: 7 of 7 = 100 %
• 116 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 9: 7 of 7 = 100 %
• 82 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 10: 2 of 2 = 100 %
• 170 minutes/day average across 7-days
• February 28 of 28 = 100%
• 2023: 56 of 59 = 95%

*updated paragraph*

February was all about starting a new project with a new software team at work. I love learning new systems. Luckily they needed my Project Management skills immediately so that has worked well for getting me up and running on their team. I have continued stretching and feel so much more limber since the January Stretching seminar with Joe Hippensteel of Ultimate Human Performance. I highly recommend his training (even from the videos) for anyone who wants to keep themselves limber and even get more flexible.  

The dogs and I walk every morning with lots of sniffing and keeping a big gap between us and any other dogs to keep Osky relaxed and confident.
