A Merry May Day (a Few Days Late)

Dear Friends,

Happy, happy May to you! May is such a beautiful month, full of flowers and lots of birthdays (as well as our wedding anniversary). We had a fun little May Day celebration yesterday (it was raining on the actual day, which put a damper on things), with Evangeline as the May Queen. We didn't have a May Pole, so we just danced around the yard with ribbons, which was just as fun (almost)!

We had a ruby-throated fairy folk come for a May Day visit, too. . .

 

And we discovered yet another robin nest in another wreath out front~ We haven't even put up the "Welcome to Birdsong Cottage" yet!

 

I finally finished the Jesus dolls that I made for Evangeline, Frankie, and Tasha (to keep bad dreams away), which gave a nice sense of accomplishment (some day I'll actually use a pattern when I make something!)~

 

I also made a wool rat whom Audrey named "Tevye the Jewish Rat". Tevye decided that he wanted to make some gifts for The Mousekins Family, who live with our friend Linnie of The Butt'ry and Book'ry blog. The Mousekins received their gifts today, and they can be seen here.

 

Tevye is so popular, we're going to have to make a whole Jewish Rat Family to along with him!

May you have a sunshiney day today!

Love,

Marqueta
