green. the new black.

i've traded in the st. patrick's day green threads for some green threads of another ilk. continuing to be a mama that wants to embrace all that is earth-friendly and inspiring, i treated my inner-hippie to a few yards of hemp. yes, lovely, simple, natural hemp. sustainable fibres like bamboo and hemp (which are fast growing, need little pesticides, do not deplete the soil etc....) aren't relegated to crunchy music festivals and college towns any longer - they are everywhere, which is quite awesome. so i thought it was time i encorporate them into my own home creations. after admiring some little textile swatches that i've had here for some time, i decided to go ahead and place a small order of the hemp linen and a hemp/organic cotton blend. i'm really excited to see what they are like. what they will inspire me to create for my family and home? new shower curtain for the bath? apron for mama? the peasant shirt? i'll let you know....
