Spring is Here!


Finally!!


April 10, 2013

Hopeful Thinking

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say this has been the worst spring. Ever. It's almost the middle of April & I have yet to put away my winter coat, remove my down comforter, or wear flip flops. In fact, as I type this, it's barely 40 degrees outside. I'd say the weather can't get much worse, but the forecast for Friday includes snow. Awesome.

To cheer myself up, I've perused photos I've taken in the previous couple of springs. I'll post some here, in hopes of cheering you up as well!

Color Test

I came across this website that tests how well you see colors on your computer screen.

It's pretty amazing how the color squares look so different until you have to order them & then they begin to seem so similar.

Test yourself, see what your score is & let me know in the comments section.

I got an 8. And the blues & greens were where I struggled the most.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Three days ago, it was 65 degrees. Yesterday & today are in the single digits. Chicago (and the midwest in general) is living up to the saying "if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes".

Since it's so cold out, it's the perfect time to hunker down & try some new crafty things! Here's what I've created the past couple of days, using a new pattern & some new fabric.



If I can correctly make some adjustments, they may soon make their appearance in my shop!

I'm featuring a couple of items from my shop each day in February on my Facebook page! If you haven't yet "liked" Hazel Street Designs, you can do so here.
