If I had wings or a hot air balloon
I'd fly myself up to the moon;
I'd sit on the moon so happy and tall
and everyone else would seem really small.

Featured: baskets made out of
t-shirt yarn. My nephew Tomer
had an interesting purpose for them.
AMALIA! Hello dear lady! So nice to see you at my blog, and of course, I enjoy seeing you on Instagram! How I've always loved your freedom with words and sounds and your spinning of magical colors. Lovely as always to see you!
ReplyDeleteI like the baskets. I'm assuming the tshirts were torn into strips to make yarn?
ReplyDeleteShortcut - I bought rolls of t-shirt yarn at the craft store.
DeleteI LOVE these, Amalia! And, I love how you echoed the colors of the lily, pad and water!! Fly me to the moon when you go! Tomer looks like he was having a good time with your beautiful baskets. ;) You brought a smile to my day. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteYes, do come to the moon, Tanna. We'll take some crackers in case it really is made of cheese.
DeleteThat's just like a boy to have fun with everything! Very beautiful colors! And it's so nice to stay busy making things. Happy weekend! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Of course a boy would see it as a hat. :)
ReplyDeleteBoys will be boys:) Charming trio!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baskets!!!
ReplyDeleteYou new baskets are beautiful. What are you using them for, except being a hat replacement :)?
ReplyDeleteThe baskets were a gift to my SIL, we'll see what she comes up with :-)
DeleteBeautiful and colorful baskets!Your nephew is very creative!Such fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch bold and vibrant colours in your baskets, Amalia; they're perfect for some New Year colour!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2018, my friend!

They are amazing, a beautiful storage solution.
ReplyDeleteLove the baskets and they make a very unique hat as well
ReplyDeleteYour baskets are great! My daughter, who crochets, made me a basket that corrals the grandchildren's wooden blocks. I like your use of old T-shirts.
ReplyDeleteI love the baskets! Is there a pattern you used?
ReplyDeleteno, sorry, I made it up while working
DeleteCheerful baskets! Always useful also. I was just making baskets too and doubting to use some colorful leftovers. Now I see your baskets, I'll give it a try!
ReplyDeletePS: When will you be publishing a collection of your poems? That will be a bestseller! :-)
A bestseller! Wow! Fingers crossed... :-)
DeleteLovely little baskets. I've not made any in a while.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! they are great
ReplyDeleteJulie xxxxx
Such sweet baskets. Your nephew rocks!
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful baskets, Amalia.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you and your family! ✨
Ida
Lovely and colorful baskets! Your nephew has put them to a good use:)
ReplyDeleteHello, your baskets are so cute. I love the shot of your nephew. Cute poem! Enjoy your day and the new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThe baskets are really fun and bright but boy, this morning what really resonates most is your poem! To the moon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever nephew you have. Happy New Year Amalia!
ReplyDeleteLove your colorful baskets!
ReplyDeleteAmalia!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treat to see these whimsical and whirly colorful baskets! Your playful and inspiring talents always delight me!

Wonderful baskets Amalia, I love that t-shirt yarn, I need to give it a go.
ReplyDeleteI found it very hard on the hands compared with ordinary yarn but quickly done
DeleteThey are so colourful Amalia, I love them.
ReplyDeleteMy good wishes to you and yours for 2018.
All the best Jan
Darling baskets, Amalia. Your talents are never ending, my friend. Tomer is a cutie pie. xo ♥
ReplyDeleteTomer looks pretty cute with his "repurposed" basket hat. Beautiful baskets. I like the poem too, but if I had wings or a balloon (or a magic carpet) I'd fly home for a quick mid-winter visit.
ReplyDeleteI do like the idea of a magic carpet, very exotic :-)
DeleteThese are wonderful! I love the bright colours together, they really work.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue how you make them but I respect your know-how / love! :)
ReplyDeleteThe basics are too cute, I have not tried crocheting with t-shirts, so pretty and colorful, leave it to a boy to use it as a hat :)
ReplyDeleteCute poem!
Beautiful baskets! But it can be put to good use as a hat too!
ReplyDeleteHow talented you are in both writing and crafts! Those baskets are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour talents abound dear friend! I love your poetry, and the darling baskets/hats! Upside or downside they are very useful I would think :) Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteLove your poem! What will you use the baskets for?
ReplyDeleteThey have already gone to a better home, they were made for a gift :-)
DeleteThe baskets you crocheted are so nice and colorful. That must been a lot of work to make and your did a great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and wishing you a Happy New Year. Thanks for sharing at Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
Enjoy the week.
Julie
These are so lovely! It is on my list to learn to crochet!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking and practical baskets you made! Haha, that is what kids do - they even put real buckets on their head:)Thank you for showing this to All Seasons! Hope you had a lovely December month, and wishing you a belated happy New Year:)
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I told you, but last month I started WEEKEND JOURNAL PAGE (first, only once a month -the one for January started January 5th) for how it's going with an art project - does not need to be finished -it is for anything that turns into art -so also knitting and working with fabric without a pattern or instructions). The different thing for blogspot-ters is that you link with a perma link in the comment. The title is 'Weekend Journal Page, Jan 5" - I would love to see one of your projects there:)
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese baskets are lovely and interesting, and the photo of the water lily is so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI’d like to sit on the moon as well… :-)
Have a great week, dear Amalia! Hugs!
ha ha, young boys find an alternative use for most things! Beautiful baskets :-)
ReplyDeleteso beautiful Amalia, love your work !! xoxox
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty baskets/hats! :) Wonderful poem - the moon was so beautiful last week. Sending hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteCute! Great pictures, too. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteT-shirt yarn? I wish I was crafty so I could enjoy such things, but I am happy seeing what you create!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Olá, trabalho criativo, as cestas sãp lindas.
ReplyDeleteAG
Your nephew is starting a new fashion trend! What lovely baskets and I can think of a dozen uses for them - other than hats!
ReplyDeleteLOL, a dual purpose basket! So cute!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY baskets! Love them!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and take care now...
Love from a grey Sweden and Titti
Does that mean you have to cut a T shirt into strips - or is it a ready to use ball of yarn?
ReplyDeleteI know people who cut t-shirts into strips and use them for yarn. You can also buy it ready made at the craft shop, which is what I did as this was my first time. I do have a pile of sheets and shirt waiting for recycling so I hope to make my own next time.
DeleteHello Amalia,
ReplyDeletethanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog!
Nice baskets in wunderful colours!
Have a nice weekend,
Christine
Absolutely great looking! T-shirt yarn is so much fun! Anna x
ReplyDeleteYour baskets are lovely and one day I'd love to try making one! Your nephew steals the show :)
ReplyDeleteGreat project! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteYour baskets are so beautiful. A red water lily flower looks dreaming.
ReplyDeleteThe baskets are so fun and your nephew made me laugh! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Nice baskets! I love your poem, Amalia:)
ReplyDeleteI too would love to sit on the moon. Indeed that would be the best fun. Gorgeous baskets and gorgeous hats. =)
ReplyDeleteI love this! The photos and poem!
ReplyDeleteAmalia, the basket are so lovely and happy! Your nephew looks rather handsome wearing one!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have had a lovely crafty time! Your potholder and embroideries are lovely and your crocheted baskets gorgeous. One of those has been on my to do list for such a long time. I even bought some cotton on a trip to Bath, but it's still in my yarn basket! Love the photo of your nephew! xx
ReplyDeleteHow fun and whimsical!
ReplyDeleteThey're so colourful. Pretty and useful at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAmazing T-shirt yarn!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful colors and lovely Tomer!!
I would love to sit on the moon, too :)

Love the things you made,greetings,Joan
ReplyDeleteGreat work and happy colours! Love it!
ReplyDeleteTitti
OH I am SO jealous of your baskets! I've tried making them but haven't succeeded thus far. Yours are beautiful and so well made.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have cut old t-shirts and crocheted potholders, but the result wasn't especially pretty. Probably the yarn you can buy is much more regular and neat. :)
Gorgeous photos!
it is the classic conflict - recycling and using what you have vs. the shiny tempting stuff in the craft store :-)
DeleteOooh, aren't those baskets cool. And a very clever little nephew!
ReplyDeleteThe baskets are super cute! I love how kids find clever uses for everyday items like them.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be late commenting. I’m not actually, because I commented ages ago but looking through all the comments again, I’m not there! A few of my comments didn’t work a few weeks back - so annoying because you don’t know when they haven’t worked!!
ReplyDeleteGreat rhyme, Amalia!
Love the baskets, they are so colourful!
Tomer’s headwear looks very striking!
Hugs,
Barbara xx
Thanks for going the extra mile, Barbara :-)

ReplyDeleteI love this sort of basket. The perfect mixture of beauty and usefulness. Thanks for joining in my new monthly link party.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! One more reason to love kids. Your baskets are beautiful. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThese colorful gems remind me of the sweet baskets made by many indigenous people. Love your nephew!
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know, in case you haven't seen, I featured your baskets on Ginx Woolly Linx https://ginxcraft.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/ginx-woolly-linx-party-february.html
ReplyDeleteAmalia, the baskets are beautiful and what a great way to reuse t-shirts. Haha I love Tomer's repurpose for them too.
