Photo Challenge: "Something Blue"

[valie]

My favourite thread! This week I'm posting on behalf of akraus2015. Come out to play!!

To participate in the challenge today, post a photo of "Something Blue".

Rules:
1. The photo you post must have been taken within the prior challenge week (usually Thursday - Wednesday).
2. The photo must have been taken by YOU.
3. Fair warning: If you ignore rules 1 & 2, you will get flamed and disqualified. It's super serious.
4. The winner will be decided by how many "Love Its" they receive for their photo.
5. Each week's winner will decide the theme for the next week and so on.

Of course, if you are uncomfortable with any challenge you can sit it out.

Congrats akraus2015 ! We should do Friday's drinking thread in your honor!

I got too excited yesterday when I backed my car into the spot. I sent this pic to DH. We live in the country so it's a rare event and I spent an hour in drivers Ed learning how to back up a car. I added the heart to block out my plates because skin suit and all.

This is my brooch bouquet. I spent months making it, and coincidentally, a lot of the brooches were blue! Plus, the base is blue too.

In honor of your upcoming wedding I decided to show you guise my something blue from my wedding.

ETA: On the left - Navy Blue Peep Toe Heels - Ceremony and First Dance
On the right - Navy Blue (now a little faded) Converse - Reception and Honeymoon.

In keeping with the theme, my super dirty engagement ring :-) I also kind of copied @wallflwr926 the insides of my wedding shoes were blue

My house is blue! I took this Saturday to show my mom the new hanging basket. Haha.



FX I did this right. First photo!

A patron crocheted this scarf for me and gave it to me for Christmas. It meant a lot to me that she appreciated all the computer help and gave me something that took so much time and effort to create. It's lovely.

valie, thanks for posting for me! I didn't trust that I would remember even one more thing I needed to do this week. Jumping in to contribute my "something blue". I had a swatch of my papa's jeans sewn into the inside of my wedding dress.

Here was my Something Blue at my wedding - a ring that my grandfather gave my grandmother, she gifted it to me the morning of my wedding. Before then I hadn't really thought of an old/new/borrowed/blue thing to carry with me.

I saw this and thought "OMG stalker, taking a picture of my car!" Then I realized the context of the photo makes no sense to me, hah.

You drive a blue Focus too? I love mine now but we are saving up for something bigger. His name is Peyton. Cause Colts blue and all.

I do drive a blue Focus. She's my baby. Her name is Sophie. She's seen me through a lot these last five years!

We're also on the lookout for something bigger. H says when I'm six months pregnant, we'll upgrade to my mommy-mobile.

I'm already scoping out RAV4s and Escapes. I've had Peyton for 5 years (almost 60,000) too! We are trying to hold out until we can't handle the space issue. We have the front seats almost all the way back because of height and the one time I have had a car seat in my car we had to push the passenger seat all the way forward. I know they make smaller car seats but I really like leg room.

I've got my eye on a Nissan Pathfinder, but I like the Escapes, too. I've got a whole file on my computer with screenshots of spec lists and price quotes for the cars I like. I so want H to change his mind and let us get a new car sooner, but I know it's not going to happen.

The car seat thing is the biggest reason I want to upgrade. I told H the doors on Sophie don't open nearly enough to easily get a car seat carrier in and out of that thing. And I know we'll want to make life as easy as possible once we have a little one.

Mmm, they taste and look like summer!

As our winner by love tits won last week, and will likely be too busy getting busy on her honeymoon to post next week's thread, I declare PepperPottsJ, our very close competitor, the champion of this week's Photo Challenge!

Edits because I'm having tagging troubles.
