With all Christmas, New Year and the holidays well and truly over it is time to get back to sewing and to finish off the forest path design which I started before we went away in December. I only had the quilting to do and I decided to keep that fairly simple, with stippling and invisible thread in the main part of the design and a large meander pattern using variegated cotton thread in the border.

Since coming back from the Philippines, where we had an unusually dry December, we seem to have had nothing but rain here in Brunei. It rains a lot at night but there have been days too when it has been so dark we’ve had to have lights on in the house and the rain has come down in great torrents. The garden which normally drains quickly, being so close to the beach, has been flooded in places for the last few days, and two days ago I rescued a very nice frog which had got stranded in our patio. Later that day my husband found our kitten Millie about to play with something not so nice, a small scorpion had come in out of the rain. He caught it and put it over the fence into the jungle but I hope there aren’t any more around.

Thanks Karen, I’m just starting some work on a new one so will post some photos of that soon. I had a look at your blog yesterday and it looks as if you live in a nice place too, I was interested in your garden projects and the various wildlife you get.
