All the birds of the air fell a-sighing and a-sobbing

"Who killed Cock Robin?" "I," said the Sparrow,
"With my bow and arrow, I killed Cock Robin."
"Who saw him die?" "I," said the Fly,
"With my little eye, I saw him die."
"Who caught his blood?" "I," said the Fish,
"With my little dish, I caught his blood."
"Who'll make the shroud?" "I," said the Beetle,
"With my thread and needle, I'll make the shroud."
"Who'll dig his grave?" "I," said the Owl,
"With my pick and shovel, I'll dig his grave."
"Who'll be the parson?" "I," said the Rook,
"With my little book, I'll be the parson."
"Who'll be the clerk?" "I," said the Lark,
"If it's not in the dark, I'll be the clerk."
"Who'll carry the link?" "I," said the Linnet,
"I'll fetch it in a minute, I'll carry the link."
"Who'll be chief mourner?" "I," said the Dove,
"I mourn for my love, I'll be chief mourner."
"Who'll carry the coffin?" "I," said the Kite,
"If it's not through the night, I'll carry the coffin."
"Who'll bear the pall? "We," said the Wren,
"Both the cock and the hen, we'll bear the pall."
"Who'll sing a psalm?" "I," said the Thrush,
"As she sat on a bush, I'll sing a psalm."
"Who'll toll the bell?" "I," said the bull,
"Because I can pull, I'll toll the bell."
All the birds of the air fell a-sighing and a-sobbing,
When they heard the bell toll for poor Cock Robin.


I'm not sure why this rhyme means so much to me, but I've loved it deeply for many years now.
Alot of lolita blogs ask readers what their dream print would be. I think something related to this rhyme would be mine. ...or a gummy bear print.

Too hot for socks today, which is a shame because I adore socks. I find the summer down right maddening haha...

I made some shorts for fairy kei. Sometimes, skirts just aren't appropriate or aren't comfortable.

I'm working on an outfit for My Little Pony Fair! I'm so excited to go.
Anyway, as you can see, I have a ton of 70s patterns from my mom. They are adorable and so great for fairy OR dolly depending on fabric choice! Maybe I'll make a post showing off my 70s patterns.

I'm also going to make a new fairy kei friendly tutorial soon I think...
