Blue skies! ...*sigh*... (June in Norway is highly recommended, by the way!) The blue skies of late, got me to thinking how this seems to be informing my creativity lately...
Soft blues... some fabrics set aside for a customer order I'll be working on this week.
Bright, cornflower blue... a new knitting project taking shape. This past weekend I used this lovely blue to cast on and start this child's vest.
A new order with beads arrived, goodies for making new stock for my Etsy shop... among them, these two strands of gorgeous lavender-blue angelite gemstone rounds.
Painting in the works... can't reveal all yet, but I notice blues showing up more & more on my palette. LOTS taking shape behind the scenes here just now. I'll be able to share more soon... Do stay tuned!
Are you favoring a particular color just now? What's your color?
Wishing you all a beautiful week!
Beautiful fabrics and perfect knitting. Isn't it funny how we can get "into" one color and it seems to take-over? I hope you have an inspirational and productive week -- lots of creating going on!

Hi dear Tracy,
Thank you for your comment. I can tell you that if you can take a week in Cornwall you won't regret it a bit! It is such a gorgeous place and so much to do and so many places to go visiting!
I love all your blues. :) Specially the fabrics. I am a blue girl. Any shade, but recently turquoise is being my favourite. :)
Lots of love and hugs,
xx

My favourite colour is green and right now with all the rain we're still having everywhere is quite green, still...I wish I had a bit more blue in our skies here instead of this light gray ;-)
Have a great week, dear friend :-)

I have been gathering blue things, also =-) It is my favorite color but for the last 13 years (since we moved to our current house) I have had hardly any of it in my home...and I don't know why, except that this house is so very different from our old house, which was smaller and cottage-y. I decided it was time to bring back the color that I love so much!! Those beads are so beautiful; is there a significance to them specifically? The cornflower blue of that yarn is delicious! And the vest will be so sweet. I followed the link and found the post on that blog with the darling little turban and dress. Alas the pattern is not in English =-( I would love to make that turban for my little niece. Loved your post today! =-)

Tracy, wonderful blues! Blue feels like the right color for the summer ... I'll have to check on the children vest ;-) I cannot wait for you to reveal all your art :-)) sending love your way!

Robin's egg blue us my favorite, but nothing beats a summer blue sky either!

I too like blue! Lovely fabrics, and a beautiful shade of blue yarn. Anne x

Fabulous blues! Especially the jolly cornflower yarn for your knitting project. Blue is my favourite colour, rather obsessively so. But how can one not like blue? Have a great week!

love your blues...I'm not really into a color right now that I know of, but i'll be watching to see if there are any recurring themes. Have a great week.

Blue is one of my favorite colors, Tracy! That is why I always keep my blog background a light sky blue :) Visiting my grandsons made me see lots of blue and both their bedrooms are shades of blue. Other than that I have been seeing lots of pinks lately ..pink roses, pink peonies, pink hydrangeas are everywhere!
Posted by: Pat | June 14, 2011 at 02:41 AM
Hmmm. That's a good question. I seem to be drawn to color in general, especially darker pinks and purples. Though I was also wearing a good bit of black and grey. Huh. I wonder what that means.
That cafe below looks like one I would enjoy! Love the bright spots of orange.

Tracy I want a colour co-ordinated life.

Lovely blues Dear Tracy! What a sweet vest this is going to be, and thanks for the link! I am also loving those very pretty fabrics. I can see it is going to be lots of summer crafting and fun ahead for you.:o) Happy week to you!

I'm in love all that blue you are showing. It is one of my favorite colors. Recently, I have been liking purple. It has been creeping in more and more in my wardrobe.
Posted by: Shell | June 14, 2011 at 06:07 PM
It all looks so beautiful! I love the sound of summer in Norway too! Can't wait to see the new painting x x

Great summer color, Tracy. I'm so glad you are getting some beautiful summery days.

beautiful!

I like the way the summer is influencing your work Tracy. I love blues, greens and turquioses, but love splashes of oranges and reds-I sometimes find it hard to confine myself to a simple palette!
Posted by: Sarah | June 16, 2011 at 12:17 AM
Hi Tracy, I think blues are my absolute favorite...can't wait to see!
Posted by: Rebecca | June 16, 2011 at 07:16 AM
