The nursery rhyme was first published as an original poem by Sarah Josepha Hale on May 24, 1830, and was inspired by an actual incident.
As a girl, Mary Sawyer (later Mrs. Mary Tyler) kept a pet lamb, which she took to school one day at the suggestion of her brother…
You can read the whole story HERE.
Isn’t it amazing how such a simple story became a song and how such a simple song became so famous?
I just had to create my own version or Mary and her little lamb in a papercut. I had the most fun creating the little lamb. Should we find a name for it? I think that the little lamb deserves a good name 🙂 This original piece, the same one that you see in the picture, is available now on my Etsy store. I promise to make new versions soon! I have also listed the black and white print of it in the 4″x6″ format.
La la la la..
Have a great day my friend!
Elsita 🙂
Dear Elsita.
You are wonderful. I love your papercuts and “the hidden seed”. And I really love Mary’s shoes.
Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Mary had a little lamb,
it’s name was Josaphine,
she’s was the cutest lamb that you have ever seen,
loving her kind master was all that
she could do,
If sweet mary was your friend wouldn’t you love her too?
*(how about that? A name after
mary?)*

you don’t know how much I love your paper cuts.
Couldn’t agree more! But you miss out another good reosan for the enjoyment I walk about 2kms every time I mow the grass; manhandling the heavy mower round all those 180 degree turns, plus all the return trips to the compost bins to empty the overflowing wheel-barrow is very good exercise! Although I always make the stripes militarily straight at the front of the house, I follow the lines of the pond and the flower-beds [at the request of the Head Gardener] at the back, so the stripes are interestingly curved and criss-crossed behind the house!
