New Release: 1776 Bunny Patriotic Cross Stitch Pattern

 

This was such a fun pattern to design... I just adore the bunny, and plan to make other designs with similar bunnies. The 1776 Bunny cross stitch pattern is a patriotic design for the 250th Anniversary of the United States. She's got the Liberty Bell next to her, and the year 1776 below her. I thought the border was just the cutest, with the stars and tiny flowers... If you're looking for something patriotic to stitch and you think she's as cute as I do, you can find her here.

New Release: Sentinels of '76 Patriotic Cross Stitch Pattern - Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the USA

 

We have eagles around here. Occasionally, we see them when we are driving around, and we've seen them from our home a few times. Last year we had a pair of eagles fly by not 200 feet away from the house. They are beautiful, majestic birds. 

I wanted to do a patriotic design to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States (1776-2026), and decided to do one with eagles. I named it Sentinels of '76 because a sentinel is a guard or protector, and this design symbolically shows our nation bird as a guardian of the flag, the heart, and the home. I just love designs with birds and / or houses! 😊

Now to work on my next patriotic design... 1776 Bunny.  🐰

New Releases: March Dog and Scottie March Dog Cross Stitch Patterns

 

 

The March Dog and Scottie March Dog from the Dog Days Series are out today, joining the March Cat from the Cat Tales Collection, which was released in 2025. These March designs will get you ready for St. Patrick's Day next month! 

Spring is only a few days behind St. Patrick's Day, and I'm extra-ready for it this year! We have had nice temperatures the past week, but before that it seems like we had over 3 weeks with high temperatures below freezing (regular temps or wind chill temps). We had about 6" snow, then hours of sleet, then hours of freezing rain on a Sunday into Monday, and it covered the ground for 3 weeks as an icy blanket. We're not used to that here! But I am thankful that everything was fine, and it was only an inconvenience for us... I know that people in other areas had it a lot worse than we did. 

But like I said... I'm so ready for spring!    🌞🌷

New Release: Sent With Love Teddy Bear Cross Stitch Pattern

 

If you're still looking for something to stitch for Valentine's Day, this little design is only 53w x 53h. It was fun to design... I wanted to make the border look like a postage stamp to match the theme... 

The Sent With Love Teddy Bear is similar to Beary Loved... both of them are new for Valentine's Day 2026. I hope you enjoy stitching them!

New Releases: February Dog and Scottie February Dog Cross Stitch Patterns

 

 

The February Dog is out today! This is the newest design in the Dog Days Series. If you are looking for something to stitch for February or Valentine's Day, check out the February Dog (also the February Cat, that came out in 2025). It's a fun-sized pattern at 53w x 81h.

Also check out Scottie February Dog, which is ready for you to stitch for Valentine's Day!

If you're still snowed in, or just staying indoors because it's SO COLD outside, like I am, it's a great time to work on some cross stitch!

New Release: Wanda's Garden Path from the Gathered from the Garden Series

 

❄️ We have snow forecasted for this weekend… a lot... but hopefully by the time it gets here the numbers will lessen. I enjoy snow, but not so much at one time...right now, they're predicting around 7-11 inches.🌷

The Gathered From the Garden: Wanda’s Garden Path cross stitch pattern is a little reminder that springtime is coming, even though it seems so far away right now... 🌿

I know that there are a lot of people that truly enjoy the snow, and to those who do, I am wishing a beautiful, fun-filled weekend! To the rest of us, I'm wishing warm homes, hot coffee/cocoa, and lots of stitching...  

Also, keep an eye out for 2 accompanying patterns that will be released in Summer 2026... Watermelon and The Garden Perch!

New Release: Beary Loved Cross Stitch Pattern

 

Valentine's Day is just a month away... and this cuddly little teddy bear is ready for stitching! She's bundled up in a pink sweater with a heart on it, and the design has the words "Beary Loved", as a play on the phrase "Very Loved". 

If you don't have a Valentine's Day stitch yet, you have plenty of time to stitch the Beary Loved cross stitch pattern before next month!

New Releases: January Dog and Scottie January Dog

 

 

Happy New Year!

I hope you had a peaceful and blessed holiday season.

The first two new releases for 2026 are January Dog and Scottie January Dog. Last year January Cat from the Cat Tales Collection came out at the beginning of the year, but the monthly Dogs did not start up until halfway through 2025. Because of that, the beginning of 2026 will be the time for the Dog Days Series to catch up and complete the rest of the calendar months...

If you are stitching the Dogs, I hope you enjoy these patterns!

New Release: December Cat Cross Stitch Pattern from the Cat Tales Collection by Happiness Is HeartMade

 

We're getting ready for Christmas today... the decorations are going up outside and they're going to look pretty! I love Christmas lights outside. We don't have a lot that we put up, but they are out where I can see them when I'm working, so I love it!

Speaking of Christmas... The December Cat is out today, and is ready for Christmas. This month's cat sits sweetly by a Christmas tree with snow-kissed branches. There are golden snowflakes, stars, and hearts... Be sure to check out all of the Cat Tales Collection designs.  There are a few Christmas ones out already... the A Cat and Cardinal Christmas and Cat with Holly and Ornaments. And there may be more by the time you read this!

I hope you have a beautiful and blessed Christmas season...     Christy
