About the blog
I started this blog because I love amigurumi and I want to share that love with you.
Yes, you!
Dear reader, if you want to learn how to make toys out of yarn, I want to share everything I know.
If you want to find the perfect amigurumi pattern or book, I have recommendations galore.
If you want to read about crochet hooks, yarn, safety eyes, and all manner of crafty doodads, I’m here for you!
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

About Jes Loves Toast
Jes loves toast is my tongue-in-cheek, cheesecake cute alter ego. It’s all about bright colors, playful faces, and of course, food!
I’ve been running with scissors since 1987 – always making toys, often making those toys resemble food. Admittedly, I’m not a Suzie Cream Cheese kind of gal, but when I create it comes from a place of lighthearted fun.
My work is one part drive-in intermission ads (cue kitschy dancing hamburger) and three parts obsession with toy making.
I’m a self taught crocheter, and picked up the skill as a form of stress relief. I hope my overdyed colors, and cheeky faces relieve some of your stress too!
Words of Wonder
Writing is not just about the words themselves; it’s about the connection they create. Through the simple act of putting pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, I discovered the power to inspire, to uplift, and to heal. It became a vehicle through which I could share my joys, sorrows, passions, and dreams with others who might be going through similar experiences.
In a world that often feels disconnected, writing has the remarkable ability to bridge the gaps between individuals, cultures, and generations. It is a form of self-expression that transcends barriers, allowing us to find common ground, empathize with one another, and celebrate the beautiful diversity of our human existence. It has the capacity to provoke deep introspection, spark conversations, and bring about positive change in our lives and communities.
So, I started writing because I wanted to make a difference, no matter how small or profound. I wanted to create a space where people could find inspiration, solace, and a sense of belonging. Through my words, I aim to capture the essence of the human experience, to celebrate the simple joys and navigate the complexities of life together.
As I embark on this writing journey, I invite you to join me. Let’s explore the vast landscapes of imagination, dive into the depths of emotions, and embrace the transformative power of words. Together, we can create a tapestry of stories that illuminate the human spirit, spark conversations, and inspire others to discover the beauty of their own unique narratives.
So, dear readers, let us embark on this wondrous adventure together, fueled by our shared passion for writing and the limitless possibilities it holds. Let us discover the magic of storytelling and the profound impact it can have on our lives and the lives of those around us. Welcome to a world where words dance, emotions sing, and dreams take flight. Welcome to the extraordinary journey of writing.
