After all the fun, crazy starting challenges last year (You might remember me joining in Naughty November), Rachel and Tiff are bringing some new challenges into play this year - one of them being Mischievous March, again with one start a weekend. And once again, I am trying to balance joining into the fun with not overloading my WIP list!
Week #1 was an easy one for me, though - with House Rules almost done (in fact, spoiler alert, it is done now and waits for a frame) I had room for a new focus project, and there is one I had been planning to make for my best friend's mum's birthday in July! Elephants are her favourite, so this is perfect for me - it's a Wrendale Design by Bothy Threads called 'Age is Irrelephant'. I made a start on Sunday the 7th and already finished my first ten hours over the course of last week:
Progress is a little over the place here - I started in the middle of the fabric, with the tusks, then worked my way up and right and now I'm working down the first elephant. I think this will take about 60 to 70 hours, which should be doable by July if I stick to my usual two-rotations-a-month plan.
This will probably be the biggest start of the month too. I got the 2nd and 3rd weekend all planned out (the 2nd is already started, of course), and they are both projects I should be able to finish right away. For the last weekend, I'm still debating how sensible or how fun I'll going to be!

Oh this is going to be a fun piece! Keep it away from my starts, elephants are scared of mice LOL
What a great name for this!
Very nice start and good for you on keeping your WIP balance. I am trying very hard to follow your example, but I want to start ALL the charts right now.
OK, so I'm only 9 months late commenting, but thank you for joining in with the first week of Mischievous March! I am a massive fan of Hannah Dale, so absolutely love this new start. Great progress for one week too. :)
