Crocheted stuff, all made by me and my brain and hands.

23/01/2026

Bear with me for one last lot of bad photos and a self indulgent ramble.
You've probs noticed since my kiddo was born I've been unbelievably rubbish at running Ames Likes Toast (he's 6 now btw 😬). Life has changed, my brain is fairly happy and I just want to crochet for the love of it.
I'm so unbelievably grateful for everyone that I have met along the way since starting out in 2012. You've all been bloody lovely (mostly). I started crocheting at a time when life felt so impossible and I absolutely don't know what I would have done without it (and without Nick, that guy has been around through the absolute sh*ttest of times with me).
I've got a part time job now looking after small humans which is something I never thought would happen, like ever! So yeah, I'm done here.
Thanks again lads!
Big love, Ames👩🏻‍🦳

Pic 1 - Mess to sort
Pic 2 - Taught myself to crochet using that book which was given to me by my mega talented pal
Pic 3 - First thing I ever crocheted, affectionately known as the depression blanket (forever leaving ends not sewn in)
Pic 4 - First ever order through my fb page, all I could think of was David Cameron whilst making it.
Pic 5 - The make I used to announce I was up the duff
Pic 6 - My last ever stupid awkward ALT selfie

My stuff in a shop! This photo is pretty crappy but I'm so incredibly chuffed with the stuff I'm making at the minute. There was a massive period when I was so sick of crochet and Ames Likes Toast, I defo thought I was done. But no, the love has returned 🧶💕🧡💚🪴

I'm part of the till Sunday and there's a whole heap of lovely makers and vintage goodies in there.
Go grab yourself a treat please 👩🏻‍🦳

Heeeey, I have baubles! Anyone want baubles?
I was meant to have a market tomorrow but that ain't happening so I'm gonna try flog you guys some stuff ☺️

I'll be popping stock I have up on my stories tomorrow from around 2.30. There'll be baubles, pots, star toppers and a few reduced hoops (the hoops need homes and I'm not planning on making more).

Who's in? Anyone? Is there even here anymore 😬

Got a market tomorrow so I'm obvs posting late on a Friday to tell you about it 😐

Actually loving the old crochet at the moment and really chuffed with the stuff I'm making. Not loving social media so much though...tricky that one.

Anyway, come look at my colourful new wavey makes tomorrow and tell me I'm awesome and you miss my online bants.

Big love 👩🏻‍🦳

Big love 👩🏻‍🦳

Have you heard what I've been wanging on about on my stories!?! I'm trading with tomorrow at Overdraft in Levenshulme. I've just started getting so flippin excited about it. Last time I did a market was like 3 weeks before I had Dexter and he's 4 next week 😳.

Also, having posted a whopping 7 times on my grid this year feast your eyes on new things! A Christmas tree christmas tree topper, a pizza tree topper and some hoopage.

Would be so super if you could pop down, turns out I've really missed trying to flog stuff to people's actual faces.

Big love 👩🏻‍🦳
