Little Bo-Peep
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can’t tell where to find them;
Leave them alone, and they’ll come home
And bring their tails behind them.
Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For still they all were fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they’d left all their tails behind ‘em!
It happened one day, as Bo-Peep did stray
Unto a meadow hard by –
There she espied their tails, side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh, and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks she raced;
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
That each tail should be properly placed.
I love this version of Little Bo Peep,
with all the verses!
It's a fun, rhyming ditty
on the life of a little shepherdess,
and a flock of rebellious, forgetful sheep!

I always have to play
with my paper dolls -
These are paperdolls from Denmark.
I love her storybook costumes.
These are from a vintage McCall's magazine.
I can't quite read the date, but the note with it says 1925 - 1929.
unknown printing date, vintage song sheet
Of course, no day would be complete
without a little coloring:
Perhaps the little sheep weren't really naughty, they just wandered into a maze like this:
Actually, I think this is just a geometric sakura flower coloring page.
Did I get you to try it out as a maze?

I will be out of town for a couple of days, so there won't be blogs for Wednesday
or
Thursday.
Why not have some fun, and browse through my past blogs?!
My husband reminds me I don't have to
write a book in every blog!
A fun little beaded safety pin
pin for you to make.
Look up directions on a previous blog.
You could also use this as a beading pattern -
Use large pony beads if you want.
Or use the little seed beads that I love so much!
You could make several in a row, and turn it into a beaded bracelet.
Next is an example of

Have a super-duper couple of days.
