Two Happy Dances :)

This week is going fantastic!! And not even speaking about the Australian Open, which makes me always happy to watch....

Emma Miles is finished!!!


Emma Miles
Designer: The Scarlet Letter
Fabric: 36ct Vintage Cornsilk by Lakeside Linens
Threads: AVAS silks
 
The second Happy Dance is because I have a brand new car - a Hyundai I30 Elite.  So very very happy about that too. Gotta love that husband of mine :)



And because I think about safety a bit more, Lucy got a safe seat too and wears a harness that gets attached to her seat. She loves the new seat. Added plus, car keep cleaner because SOMEONE likes to run through puddles and mud - and that isn't me.

    Beautiful sampler! I love red cars and pups. My big dog was always harnessed to the grab bar when she rode. Glad yours likes her new seat. So darn cute!

    O, wat is je Emma mooi geworden!
    En wat ben je verwend, wat een prachtige auto heb je nu.
    Wat goed om je hond zo mee te nemen in de auto, ik ken deze zitjes niet voor honden. Fantastisch!

    Your sampler is so pretty! Love the satin stitches on the border. Great new car too! I've wondered about the dog seats! I hate it when mine wants to sit on my lap!

    Congrats toons on a gorgeous finish, Gabi! It is so pretty, I look forward to seeing how you frame it! Congrats on the new car, too! I think Sophie and Gracie would love that booster seat rather than their kennel. Will have to check them out.

    Congrats on the completion of Emma Miles, it is beautiful!

    Your car is awesome and I love that doggy car seat...I wonder if my yorkie would sit nicely in that. It would be far safer than having her bounce all over my car. :D

    Congrats on the Happy Dance!
    Love your doggy seat too. I can't understand why children have to be strapped in and animals don't. They can be injured just as easily and can be a big distraction if they're bouncing around.

    Congratulations Gabi!! Sarah Miles is gorgeous! I was able to see a model of this sampler at my local cross stitch shop and I just love that band of holly across the middle. Great job!

    Your doggie is so cute in his little basket. Hope you both enjoy the new car!

    Emma Miles sieht einfach toll aus! Es kommt mir vor als hätte ich diesen Sampler nicht entdeckt, als ich meine Vorlage für Nicola's SL Jahr ausgesucht habe - sonst hätte ich Emma Miles sicher mitbestellt, schon allein wegen der schönen Vögel.
