My Little Women Skit

January 26, 2017March 4, 2017UncategorizedLeave a Comment

If you viewed the post Little Women Tea then you will know that this is the skit that I mentioned, I really hope you enjoy it. everyone-is-gathered-around-the-piano-helen-and-nellie-together-and-jo-and-ruth-together-and-beth-sitting-at-the-piano P.S. I tried to capture each girls personality as I wrote the skit however the parts are not equal. Also for my party I had 7 guests (including myself) who would act. I didn’t want some guests to have to play Marmee and the aunt so I made cousins who were visiting. The cousins are a bit wealthier then the 4 girls if that helps. If you only have 4 guests at your party you can transfer and delete lines, maybe in the future I could do that for you. Update* here is the new skit with only the 4 girls in it, it follows the same storyline little-women-skit-2 P.P.S. Here is a link to the Little Women Tea post Little Women Tea

I would love for you to send me pictures of your skit, and your costumes. Please fill out the info below and click Submit.

A winter wonderland

A winter wonderland for crafting yes! This month and the next are the perfect for winter crafting! Have a cup of cocoa and a cookie while you look at a craft book. Maybe you will learn how to knit or crochet or sew this winter. Since you can’t garden it is the perfect time learn to do any of these things! When spring comes you will have many fun things such as a gardening apron, cool headbands, a picnicking quilt and maybe even a skirt. Check out the book post on my blog for fun sewing and crochet books, I don’t know how to knit but the library has a ton of knitting books so you can see what is their.
