Here, you make something that comes from the heart, a Happy Heart, a memory, or simply a moment of calm. Whether you’re a beginner or have crocheted before, it’s not about perfection, it’s about creating something kind.
✨Some hearts are even made for donation, small acts of kindness that spread softness further.

My name is Pascale, maker, dreamer, and the hands behind Happy Hearts.
Hearts have always been my red thread: long before I started crocheting them, I was already drawing them, always with a face, always with feeling. With Happy Place to Create I bring together everything I love: crochet, illustration, comfort, connection, and inspiring others to make with both hands and heart. Miss Stitch is my alter ego and the creative host of this project, she carries the voice, but behind her it’s me, with love and passion.
Omdat mijn missie is dat de Happy Hearts de wereld over gaan, heb ik ervoor gekozen om mijn webiste èn al mijn uitingen, zoals zines, Life Notes kaartjes en ander materiaal, voornamelijk in het Engels te maken. Maar ik ben zelf Nederlands, en zowel in mijn workshops als in het contact is Nederlands óók gewoon mogelijk.
