Sleeping in (ok, just not rushing out the door by 7:30), being outside, and tons of reading are not a bad schedule, not bad at all.

Just being in there so much has led to a bunch of sewing projects, including this simple reversible linen dress, following this easiest ever dress tutorial (and adding a pocket).

To do so, I measured the approximate length from her doll’s shoulders to her knees.

Aka four year old heaven.
