Startin Out My 28 things

Sorry I've been so quiet, Christmastime kind of kicked my ass this year.  I made 4 stockings, worked my ass off, made 4 hats for my cousin's kids and almost finished my Dad's sweater.  I haven't really gotten to do any sewing for myself since I posted my goal of 28 items for me for my 28th birthday, but I started last night. So this week our office has been closed, I've still had to work a bunch from home, but it's given me time to do my annual deep cleaning of the house, I still need to do our bedroom, but it's only Thursday so I should be good.  But last night after I got the living room in order I cut out and serged my first project for my 28 things, it's Simplicity 3697 in View D.  This is out of some of the fabric my Mom got me for my birthday, I love it.  Here's a couple in progress pics, I'll post more when it's done:



Also, I woke up this morning and looked out the window and this is what I found, yep, that's ice outside my window. I live in So Cal, there should not be ice outside my window.
