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

Patriotic Liberty House Pattern for Patriotic Stitching for the 250th Anniversary of the US

 

If you're looking for a design to stitch for the 250th Anniversary of the USA, you might enjoy stitching the Patriotic Liberty House. This design was released a few months ago. It was my first design using Weeks Dye Works floss, which is absolutely beautiful! I really love the color variety of floss they have.

So if you're doing some patriotic stitching, or joining in on a patriotic SAL and need a design to stitch for it, give this one a consideration! There are also other patriotic options at Happiness Is HeartMade... some larger designs, some smaller designs... you can check them out here...   Patriotic Patterns at Happiness Is HeartMade.

Dog Dad and Scottie Dog Dad Cross Stitch Patterns are a Great Christmas Gift for a Dog Dad!

 

Looking for a Christmas gift for a Dog Dad? How about the Dog Dad or Scottie Dog Dad cross stitch patterns from the Dog Days Series? They are smaller projects, so you should have plenty of time to stitch one before Christmas!  

Three New Releases: Cat with Holly and Ornaments, Dog with Holly and Ornaments, and Scottie Dog with Holly and Ornaments

    

Three patterns were released recently... The Cat with Holly and Ornaments came out yesterday.  This cute pattern features the same Cat from the Cat Tales Collection patterns, but in a smaller size. Since the Dog patterns were also requested, those are out today, with smaller versions of Dog and Scottie Dog, from the Dog Days Series. The design stitch count is only 59w x 59h, so you can easily finish it waaaaay before Christmas... 

Happy Stitching, Christy

New Releases: November Cat, November Dog, and Scottie November Dog Cross Stitch Patterns

 

 

  

The November Cat, November Dog, and Scottie November Dog cross stitch patterns are out... 

These charts are part of the Cat Tales Collection and Dog Days Series, in case you would like to check out all the other charts that go along with these...   🩷

I've probably already mentioned this somewhere, but I love autumn... it's my favorite season. This was a fun chart to create, with the little squirrel holding an acorn. We don't have many squirrels here... I've only seen a couple (we don't have many large trees in the yard). Our previous home had a small section of woods in the yard, so we had squirrels all the time there, which was really nifty. 

Well, if you're stitching the monthly cats, there's only one left to go after this one! If you're stitching the dogs, they will continue into 2026 until all of the monthly dog patterns are out.  😊

New Release: Faith: Hebrews 11:1 KJV Bible Verse Cross Stitch Pattern

 

This isn't exactly a bluebird, but the colors remind me of the bluebirds we had at the feeders this morning. Each year we get at least one birdhouse with bluebirds, which is wonderful!

This pattern is called Faith: Hebrews 11:1. The idea behind the bird and nest of eggs was that the birds attend the nest, with faith that the eggs will hatch. They are believing as fact, something that is yet to happen... sort of like our faith in the things of God... we have faith that God will accomplish the things He promises to His children.

The Friends: Proverbs 17:17 pattern is very similar to this one... you can find it here...

Information about this pattern: 

Faith: Hebrews 11:1
Pattern #2014-E
Design Stitch Count: 86w x 58h
Design Measurement:
6.14″w x 4.14″h on 14-count aida
5.38″w x 3.63″h on 16-count aida

New Release: Sunflower Serenade Cross Stitch Pattern

 

A warming cross stitch pattern for the cooling weather... The Sunflower Serenade cross stitch pattern uses 2 shades of yellow, green, and brown. 

This design was inspired by a chart in an early 1900s needlework book.

Design Stitch Count: 103w x 103h
