I don't think I'm suffering from sadness this week, but I am enjoying the calming nature of all these blues around me. Truth be told, it all started when I rediscovered this amazing blue herringbone linen on my fabric shelf. I had set it aside for a summer dress, but there's still enough of it to make other things as well. I used it to make some things for my shop update this week. I love the look of white (especially old, white crocheted things) against it. A bit like the edges of waves as they break out at sea.

    Blue is such a relaxing colour I reckon ~ I always think of it as a serene-type colour ~ just love that blue with white jasmine needlecase!

    So lovely to see your summer Melissa and your delighting sewings.
    Blue, I started to gather it around me too, for a new small home.
    Happy Wednesday from blue and hopefully soon white winter Finland!

    Beautiful. I think blue is a calming color. When we think of blue skies and blue water. I love these pieces. We are entering our winter, first snow last night. Keep up the good work, it is very nice.
