Biird-cessories

Made some accessories for the new Biird.
Steering wheel cover:

Small garbage / ditty bag to hang on the glove box:

Shoulder pads for the seat belts:

CD holder for the visor:

I also started a seat cover/blanket for the back seat so the dog can ride without destroying the seat itself:

I have another pattern that I'm thinking about doing on the back. The spousal unit says the one that's done is too nice for the dog to ruin with his nails in the car - he thinks he should have it. :) "It's the perfect size to use in the chair while watching tv."

Nah, not going to happen. :)

Biird wiings (as it were)

The <3BIIRD went "boom" and was declared toast. I've gotten something new (I won't say replaced, because nothing can replace my 8-year old beloved Galapagos Green Metallic <3BIIRD).

Let me introduce you to ... (insert fanfare here)... damn, I got nothin'. (Still deciding if it's going to be another <3BIIRD or something else.)

Some name/license plate options I'm rolling around with are:

• <3 BIIRD (no change from the original)
• <3 BIIRD2
• <3 2QUILT
• QUIILT <3
• QUIILTR
• RDBIIRD
• QLTBIRD
• RDBARON

I'm taking suggestions as well - leave 'em in the comments if you've got any.

The new wheels in the family next is a shiny red 2012 Ford Focus SE:

• 4-door (1)
• does Bluetooth sync with my iPhone (3)
• tells "Distance to E" (4)
• displays average MPG (5)
• includes 6 months of SiriusXM (6)
• external input (AUX) for the iPod (aka the CarPod) (6)
• 5-speed manual transmission (which was seriously hard to find in most sedans this size by most car companies) (7)
• full bench fold down backseat enabling the use of almost the whole backseat as an extension of the trunk (8)
• good sized trunk (9)
• cup holders in the backseat door cubbies (10)
• multi-intermittant windsheild wipers (11)
• very cool "blind spot" mirrors on both side mirrors (12)
