Happy Hearts 

Tiny crocheted hearts with little faces, each with its own character and mood.

Handmade and heartmade, they are created to touch: to bring joy, comfort or a smile. You can collect them, gift them, or even make your own in a workshop in our colorful studio, creative café or one of our on tour editions. Every heart tells its own story and together they spread softness. 

Workshops

Make your own Happy Heart in just 2 hours. No experience needed, only the joy of making. Join a cosy studio session, a café edition, or book a creative event.

Our workshops can be brought to weddings, schools, company teambuilding or other events. Always handmade, always wrapped with love, bringing creativity and connection wherever we go.

Mini heart club

Create & celebrate – just for kids. A Creative club for young makers (8-12). On Wednesday afternoons kids workshops, they learn the basics of crochet and make their very own Happy Heart. Fun, colorful and always wrapped as a little gift to take home. Celebrating birthday partieschildren get to create and decorate a heart that’s already crocheted, so everybody goes home with a finished little gift.

About

I’m 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.

Since my mission is for the Happy Hearts to travel the world, I’ve chosen to create my website and all my expressions, such as zines, Life Notes cards, and other materials, mainly in English. But I’m Dutch myself, and both my workshops and communication are also available in Dutch.


Omdat mijn missie is dat de Happy Hearts de wereld over gaan, heb ik ervoor gekozen om mijn website én 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.
