"Sarah began teaching young boys and girls in a small school not far from her home [in Newport, New Hampshire]...It was at this small school that the incident involving 'Mary's Lamb' is reputed to have taken place. Sarah was surprised one morning to see one of her students, a girl named Mary, enter the classroom followed by her pet lamb. The visitor was far too distracting to be permitted to remain in the building and so Sarah 'turned him out.' The lamb stayed nearby till school was dismissed and then ran up to Mary looking for attention and protection. The other youngsters wanted to know why the lamb loved Mary so much and their teacher explained it was because Mary loved her pet. Then Sarah used the incident to get a moral across to the class:

In 1876, at the age of 70, Mary Tyler (ne Sawyer; March 22, 1806, died December 11, 1889) emerged to claim that she was the "Mary" from the poem.[3][4] As a young girl, Mary kept a pet lamb that she took to school one day at the suggestion of her brother. A commotion naturally ensued. Mary recalled, "Visiting school that morning was a young man by the name of John Roulstone; a nephew of the Reverend Lemuel Capen, who was then settled in Sterling, Massachusetts. It was the custom then for students to prepare for college with ministers, and, for this purpose, Roulstone was studying with his uncle. The young man was very much pleased with the incident of the lamb, and, the next day, he rode across the fields on horseback, to the little old schoolhouse and handed me a slip of paper, which had written upon it the three original stanzas of the poem."[5] This account is not supported by evidence beyond Mary's memory. The "slip of paper" has never been produced as evidence. The earliest evidence of the poem's publication is Sarah Josepha Hale's 1830 collection of poems, supporting her complete authorship of the poem.

The poem was written by John Roulstone, a visitor to the classroom on the day in 1815 that Mary Sawyer was followed to school by her pet lamb. Henry Ford even purchased the schoolhouse the event was reported to have happened in and moved it to the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA.

A little lamb was born in Bethlehem. The great I AM was born a lamb. Most of us would never have heard of Bethlehem, a village south of Jerusalem, had not a little Lamb been born there. But His birth there was not accidental. It had been prophesied for centuries.

Did you know that for centuries Passover lambs were raised in Bethlehem? In those shepherds' fields outside Bethlehem, a very special breed of sacrificial lamb was raised and nurtured to be brought to Jerusalem at Passover to be slaughtered to cover the people's sins. How fitting that Mary's Lamb, God's perfect Lamb, the Lord Jesus, would be born there! And He was born in a stable. How fitting that a sacrificial Lamb would be born in a stable! This Lamb came to be the final Passover lamb, the one sacrificed for sin forever. Your destiny, my destiny, the destiny of the world was wrapped up in Mary's little Lamb.

Exodus chapter 12 tells us that God's plan for redeeming His people Israel from Egypt was a plan wrapped up in a lamb. In stark contrast, the symbol of Egypt, worn on the crown and scepter of the Pharaohs, was a coiled serpent. In this battle we see a gentle Lamb and a venomous, hissing, poisonous serpent. Of all of Earth's creatures, the most gentle, meek, and defenseless is a lamb. It has no fangs, no claws, it cannot run, it cannot fight, and it can frighten nothing. A lamb seems to say, "Are you hungry? Eat me. Are you cold? Shear me." A lamb seems to present itself to the slaughter.

In Exodus God said, "Take the lamb's blood and put it on the doorposts and lentil of the house. My angel of judgment is coming through the land of Egypt, but when I see the blood, I will pass over you." Now, they could have put a perfect living lamb outside that door, but it would have done no good. Salvation does not come from the life of Christ but from the death of Christ. Salvation is not learning lessons from the life of Christ, but receiving life from the death of Christ. "When I see the blood, I will pass over you," for the Bible says, "without shedding of blood, there is no remission." (Hebrews 9:22)

Mary had a little Lamb. His fleece was white as snow.

 That spotless Lamb was crucified to pay the debt I owe.

 Oh, spotless Lamb, with wool so white, Thy crimson blood, I know,

 Can take away my crimson sin, and wash me white as snow.

Soon the lamb began drinking milk, and its health improved very quickly. Since Mary saved him, the little lamb became very attached to her. Whenever Mary called, the lamb would follow the girl wherever she went.

According to what Mary remembered many years later, there was a young man at school that day named John Roulstone. He was a little bit older than Mary and touched by how much love Mary and her little lamb shared.

It was the shock of my lifetime to discover that kids really do dig nursery rhymes. To be a bit more specific about it, my kid in particular. Here she was, not even a year and a half old, and suddenly she could not get enough of those collections by Tomie dePaola and Arnold Lobel. And it all started with a lamb. A little one at that.

Mary had a little lamb,

 little lamb, little lamb.

 Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow.

 And everywhere that Mary went,

 Mary went, Mary went,

 and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day

 school one day, school one day,

 It followed her to school one day, which was against the rules.

 It made the children laugh and play,

 laugh and play, laugh and play,

 it made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school.

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"

 Love Mary so? Love Mary so?

 "Why does the lamb love Mary so," the eager children cry.

 "Why, Mary loves the lamb you know."

 The lamb, you know, the lamb, you know,

 "Why, Mary loves the lamb you know," the teacher did reply.

Sarah Hale, according to some, is the author of this poem. It was first published in 1830. The following incident animated Sarah Hale to write "Mary Had a Little Lamb." A girl by the name of Mary Sawyer had a pet, a little lamb which she deeply loved. She loved it so much, indeed, that one day she took it with her to school, and, naturally, created a considerable commotion. According to others, the teacher, actually the nephew of a minor minister, preparing for college under the guidance of his uncle, a young man by the name of John Roulstone, was so enthralled by the incident that he put it in verses, that is, the first two stanzas or twelve lines. The second half of the poem is attributed, according to this version, to Sarah Hale. The event occurred in Sterling, Massachusetts. A statue representing Mary's little lamb stands in the town center.

Reading the poem (the first audio recording by Thomas Edison, 1877) or singing it (Paul McCartney and others released various versions of it), and knowing the story behind the popular nursery rhyme, it becomes evident that there exists no connection between Our Lady and the Mary with the little lamb.

A lamb statue was erected in Sterling to commemorate the girl, her pet, and they poem they became. Mary passed away in 1889, but the story of her little lamb, its fleece as white as snow, is sure to follow her memory, wherever it may go.

This little Lamb, made of the softest white-as-snow chenille, is full of activity - with a squeaker, rattle, flexible mirror, crinkle sounds and soft fabric textures for babies and toddlers to discover.

This is the perfect lovey for a precious little baby. 

This lovey is croched with a cuddly yarn called Smudge from a brand named Sirdar, it is so cosy and easy to work with. 

I have combined it with a cotton yarn from katia called cotton-stretch that can be found here. 

You can find the yarns i have used if you want to check it out!

However any cuddly yarn and cotton yarn that matches the hook size required for this pattern can be used.

My friend Aimee from Sprik Space made my sign for me at the last minute (the night before) when I begged her via facebook message. She is a high school friend who is a great graphic designer and has lots of free printables on her blog. My favorites are the pattern pieces (the yellow chevron zig zag below) because they are in many patterns and colors. Click on that link to see more. I found the lamb Lindt chocolates also at Target.

Extra close up of lamby. Juliet rocked this one (she says it was only her second time working with fondant). She is starting a local catering business (as in meals, not just treats) you will hear more about that in the future from me. She was complimented by a very famous chef on her cooking. Sweet Tart Jelly beans around the edge.

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went, and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go. e24fc04721
