In the Perkins family we believe that life is made up of the little everyday things. Things like enjoying a sensational cup of tea, Manny seeing his face in the mirror for the first time, or finding a bush turkey under the deck. Even though we delight in the little things it is often the big things that end up in letters and emails (Chris has a cold, I almost stepped on a snake - all the boring stuff).
These Joyful Jottings are going to change all of that. So we invite you, dear friends and loved ones, to share in some of our precious everyday moments as a family. Enjoy!

We Have A Tooth!

Last week Manny popped through his first little pearly white tooth! He went to bed with a mouth full of gums and woke with a wee snip to his bite :-) Not a cry, not a peep. What a wonderful blessing my first baby is! "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up." I'm sure that God has blessed me so much because He knows I am away from my family and don't know how to cope with problems!

And because Manny is such a little darling I don't mind spending time on crafting for him. Here are the bibs that I made him recently:


They were alot easier than I thought they would be so I had alot of fun with different designs. You can't really see it from the photos but the one on the top left has quilting on the blue part, and two of the five were done with a pre-quilted waterproof backing. The only thing I purchased for these was a fat quarter in the blue polka dot fabric, so that would have been about $4-$5 I think as they were on sale. I reckon that's pretty good for five bibs, since a nice cotton bib here costs about $15. Oh the joys of being resourceful :-D
