3KCBWDAY3: knit + crochet heroes.

hello. it's day 3 of Knitting and Crochet Blog Week and we are all sharing our yarn-crafting heroes.

sweet + simple easter inspiration.

hello from northwest indiana!

little miss + i got here safe and sound and have hit the ground running, well at least she has, ha. she's LOVES all the space at grandma and grandpas house to run and all the fun breakables to touch and carry around.

inspired by: the rv life.

morning!

it's friday! joey has the whole weekend off and i couldn't be more happy... it's been a very long 14 days with no day off for him. it's so crazy hot outside so i don't think we'll be spending too much of it outside of our little flat but we are planning to hit up the st. ann's fest (our church's big street festival) and maybe try a little park time. regardless of what we do it's going to be heaven having our little family together!

this week i've been obsessed with all things summer vacation. we are gearing up for i guess what would be considered an 'indian summer' vacation in september to california and i seriously can't wait. this trip is going to be the first 'real' vacation for our little family that isn't specifically to see family or celebrate a holiday so it's going to be fun to have just the three of us explore and have fun. getting ready for this trip has made me dream about all of the future summer vacations we'll have and the amazing times we'll share.

my number one dream... RV's.

one day we will have one. it's probably my biggest dream to have a home on wheels that we can take anywhere we want and really explore this country like neither of us have before. i want to take a crazy picking adventure in some of the states we've only breezed through and i want my kids to really experience true Americana before it disappears. check out Sara's amazing family at walk slowly, live wildly . they have done some fantastic rv remodels (they use veggie oil too!) and LIVE on the road. literally. this is their photo stream...


how can you not fall in love with these little slices of heaven?

or how amazing would it be to run a business out of a restored vintage camper...

inspired by: vintage kiddo

one of my goals in the coming year is to buy more vintage, especially clothes for abby and myself. i'm so inspired by this cute duo... rachel and ruby are so sweet and i'm in awe of how much rachel can accomplish professionally & creatively while being a work at home mommy to two little ones. i've just started scouring etsy for fun vintage finds for abby and i thought i'd share some of my favorites...

is there anything sweeter than this rocking horse.
i'm so coveting the space to have this in abby's room... oh well

finally i wanted to share an etsy store called Vintage Tot Spot. it's a little pricey for our everyday vintage but some of the outfits are kind of amazing...


love.

inspired by: granny squares

so inspired by these beauties...

i'm way slower on perfecting my crochet skills than i have been in the knitting department but i'm hoping to fix that super soon. i am so lusting after a bright beautiful granny square blanket for the park. and how cool is that granny triangle garland? i have to make one of those for abby's room to backdrop her berkley illustration pennant banner.

love.

inspired by: easter!

joey and i are having my sister over for easter this year and i'm really excited. i'm planning a bunch of little projects to decorate the house and goodies to treat ourselves with. i haven't seen my sister since my first trimester so i'm really happy to have the chance to spend some time with her before the baby gets here...

i'm so inspired by spring and thought i'd share some beauties to kick off the weekend of fun projects and lovelies.

not that i can... but giving my sister and i a basket of cute fur babies would be
completely amazing.

this table is so gorgeous.

and i know this has nothing to do with easter (really) but they were too cute not to share...
i need to pick up a little booties knit pattern asap.

hope everyone has a great weekend. i have the whole weekend with my joey which means nesting, shopping, the park, and lots of cuddling.

love.
