Starry Starry Night


I like to see stars 
twinkle with light,
making the sky 
so pretty and bright.

They fill the night with 
their magic and beams,
I'm sure that they know 
all my hopes and dreams.


Featured: my new market bags
made from leftover bits and pieces.

Now, if I had a market bag like that I would love to go shopping and I would feel pretty snazzy too. What a great idea for the little bits of leftovers.

You are the queen of making gorgeous things from leftover bits and pieces...amazing. Hoping you're well and it's been a wonderful holiday season! xo

Maria said...

Love your poem Amalia; starry skies have always fascinated humans. It’s quite magical. Your new market bags look wonderful. I was a teenager in the 1960s and many people who could crochet would make bags, vests, hats etc...all so cheerful!

Judith said...

I also love the bags - are they lined?

Lorrie said...

Carla from The River said...

Lovely totes and I love the stars too. We are just about to the first day of Winter here. On clear nights the sky is so lovely. We can see the big dipper and little dipper and the milky way and so many more. The sky just seems to be brighter on Winter nights with the snow reflecting the stars.

Oh what pretty bags and another sweet poem too! The bags remind me that I am looking for a vintage "Granny Squares" blanket for our farmhouse. I love them! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...are you ready?? :)

Isn't the theatre of the night sky with all those twinkling stars a most wonderful thing. Your crochet bags are so pretty, Amalia.

You did a beautiful job with those bags using just leftovers!
I agree I do love looking up at the stars, especially on a warm summer evening :)

The stars are so twinkly this time of year! Love your pretty bags with all the soft colors, Amalia, and your sweet little poem. Sending hugs xo Karen

Aritha V. said...

Love it. Beautiful bags. Good way to use even the smallest scraps of yarn.

About stars. Stars fall every night, but several times a year, there are many more than usual. Here in the Netherlands around 14 December but I was gazing and gazing tonight but saw nothing. Yes, I saw other stars. Indeed what Beatrice is saying: the stars are so twinkly this time of the year. Yes I love stars. Lift up your eyes on high and see ✡

A good old granny square is still hard to beat. Lovely sparkly colour combinations.

Jeanna said...

I like the look of your cheery market bags. I'm forever misplacing mine.

Angie said...

A clever (and beautiful) use of the bits and pieces. And thanks for doing your part to protect our environment!

Decor To Adore said...

Your sweet bags remind me of vests my older sisters wore in the 70's. So charming! May you have a wonderfully blessed holiday season.

Handmade in Israel said...

What fabulous bags... and once again, such a sweet poem!

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

Beautiful ... would never guess that they were made from leftover bits and pieces, as they are so perfect. And having such a beautiful market bag would surely mean that the owner would always remember to take it with her ))

Trini Altea said...

Que bonito.!!!
Mi madre le gustaba mucho y también hacía preciosidades.

Keri Roberts said...

Amalia, these crocheted market bags are beautiful. The leftover pieces of yarn make such beautiful and unique projects.

Polly said...

Great use of your leftover! Your market bags are lovely!
I made a crocheted bag back in the 70’s but didn’t see the point in lining it ...... of course it wasn’t much used! Now if I look in the Dreaded Cupboard it could well be lurking somewhere there, and now I would line it!
Hugs, Barbara xx

Big Rigs 'n Lil' Cookies said...

Beautiful bags :)
We've had such a run of cloudy days and nights, I hope to see the stars this weekend!

Retro blue said...

Whal a lovely bags!

Tiane said...

Love the star, the bags and your blog!

Roses, Lace and Brocante said...

I love your poem and I feel an affinity with the stars.
When my family were still in France and we were so far apart, I was comforted by the knowledge that we see the same stars!
In fact I was wrong as the Southern Hemisphere night sky is very different to the Northern Hemisphere!
Everything you make is beautiful dear Amalia💖
