So! We are now half way through the year and it's time to see what progress I've made on my fettling list!
First of all id like to pick my favourite project and I think it has to be this dragonfly.
Ticked off in 1st half of 2026
Not bad at all!! Some of these are quite large projects. Considering I ticked off three things in the first half of 2025 I'm pretty chuffed with this list.
I haven't added too much to the fettling list, really only any new stitch alongs which come along. I might add I a few more Seasonal things from the waiting list as the year moves along. I'll be keen to see how many things I have had waiting for a while Ticked off by the end of the year. I'm really pleased that most of the things ticked off have been waiting for a while to be done.
I hadnt thought of adding reading to my fettling list. I tend to keep that separate i have done a midbyear round up of that here.
I'll add this stat about my reading here for brevity 😊
Ok 156 books so far 🤣 many of these are very short stories I think my average daily read is 186 Pages which is fine I think, I see my listening has gone down a bit, I think this reflects that im sitting up most of the day now which is good.

Look at all those finishes! Honestly, this is amazing because it shows just how much progress you’ve made, as do the reduced listening hours - it’s not often you feel like cheering because some has spent less time listening to audiobooks but this is one of them *waves pompoms*
ReplyDeleteI added reading to my list because my to be read queue was getting a bit ridiculous and it’s definitely worked as I’m whittling it down quite nicely, even if some of that whittling is ‘what the hell was I thinking buying/requesting this?!’ All of the books I don’t want to keep (which is far more than it was in 2018/9) go to the local RSPB reserve for their used books table and the proceeds stay in that reserve’s coffers which is good. 156 books in six months is quite the accomplishment! Thank you for joining in and for showing us that gorgeous dragonfly again, I think it’s my favourite of your finishes so far too!
Thank you! I think its a great idea to combine reading with fettling. And thank you for hosting the fettle/furtle it fair keeps me on track!
