January 2023 Furtle - Fettle Those Finishes Update

 January 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!

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 1: 7 of 7 = 100 %
• 69 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 2: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 53 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 3: 7 of 7 = 100 %
• 76 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 4: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 61 minutes/day average across 7-days
• Week 5: 6 of 7 = 86 %
• 76 minutes/day average across 7-days
• January 28 of 31 = 90%
• 2023: 28 of 31 = 90%

January ended with a Stretching seminar with Joe Hippensteel of Ultimate Human Performance. I am so pleased that I went and now have more mobility in my legs, hips, neck, back and shoulders than last month. I highly recommend his training (even from the videos) for anyone who wants to keep themselves limber and even get more flexible.  

I still did spend time sewing. How did sewing go?

January Projects Completed:

1) Living Room Pillow Form (2023 Project #5):

Pillow form, if anyone has a good way to make one when the pillow case is already known, please reply I had to guess and it's a little loose.
