Mon Jardin de Papillion is loving the rain!

What garden doesn't love a nice spring rain.

This spring has been too hot to fast and with that being said I had the time and opportunity to test tatting for my friend Elaine Gan.

The tatting design you see here is from her series E-Books (instant download) can be found here.

The color of HDT is called 'Mardi Gras' by Marilee Rockley.

Until next time...

We have gone from a cold wet spring, to a warm spring in a matter of weeks with plants trying hard to catch up and flower as fast as possible, as for spring rain, I wish at the moment we have heavy thunder storms with torrantial rain, which is beating the summer plants to death.
