My son walked in from school today, and I realized he looked HUGE. I mean, grown up. He just turned ten, but is practically looking like a teenager; wearing his hemp hat homemade by his mama. I had to get a picture.

And just for equal time purposes, here is the little guy, playing in the bamboo forest.

Great kids!

Whern you mentioned the hemp hat I naturally thought the youngin in the lower pic was standing in a "hemp" forest in your yard. Tis the time of year to harvest!

Awwww....

He looks like a sweetie!

You'll know he's a teenager when you go through a gallon of milk in two days.

No, (thank god) he is in 4th so one more year before scary middle school. I'd actually rather they kept 6th in elementary.

It's crochet. I just

It's crochet. I just crocheted different colors of hemp twine, then sloshed it around in water with borax to make it soft and more cloth-like (less twine-ey), then ran it through the washer and dryer for even more softness.

Oh!

It makes me want to cry when I think of my boys growing up. Yours are beautiful!

oh yah

I hear you, my oldest son will be 12 next month and since he turned 10 I am constantly being surprised at his height and just, manliness. His feet are as big as mine! I can wear his sweaters and they are roomy! and he's still my little boy, so this means soon he's going to tower over me.

I tell ya nomad, where did the time go?
