Crochet D Lane is Open!

After playing catch up with all of the Halloween orders; mainly Minion hats, I have reopened my Etsy shop and am taking on new orders. I have added eight new items to my shop. Christmas is just around the corner and if you place your order between now through Black Friday, you will be guaranteed to have your order arrive in time for Christmas. So stop on by my Crochetdlane Etsy shop today.

It's Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas

Our tree is up...

And decorated with our favorite treasured ornaments.

The stockings are all hung and we have a new little friend who came to visit us from the North Pole.

Her name is Holly and she is such a sweet yet mischievous little elf. She has been very busy popping up in different places in our home every morning. She is Santa's spy and she leaves us every night to tell Santa Claus if the girls were being naughty or nice.

The girls simply adore her as do I! :)
Last week Xiera and Zella took another art class making Christmas ornaments. They made many different kinds. They made puzzle piece wreathes, stamped Christmas cards, gingerbread people, and glitter ornament balls.

I am finishing up the last of my custom Christmas orders this evening and mailing them out in the morning. I am really cutting too close this year. Note to self: **Remember to switch your Etsy store to vacation mode right after black Friday to ensure all orders will get out in time for Christmas.** I have come to realize that people do not read the BOLD notice at the top of my store stating that I am no longer taking Christmas orders after December 2nd. I have pulled many late nighters because of this but even with the lack of sleep that I have had, I still have been very pleased with a few custom orders I have created.
One of my favorites was this custom stocking hat I made. It is reversed in color compared to my original Holly Jolly Elf hat and features a holly leaf and berries on the front cuff band with a red pom pom ball dangling from the end instead of a bell.


It turned out VERY cute I think!

Run! Run! As Fast As You Can...

You Can't Catch Me, I'm The Gingerbread Man,is the name of this adorable treasury created by Nikki of Darcysdolls.

I can't help but to smile when I look at all of those sweet gingerbread faces. And I am so honored that she chose my candy gingerbread man hat to be apart of all the fun. ;) You can also view the original treasury HERE.

For The Love of Pumpkins Treasury

I wanted to share this fun and festive treasury made by Jennifer of Vivianboutiquebows. I am so thrilled that she included my pumpkin purse. I simply adore that crystal pumpkin necklace and harvest fairy decorative too. You can see the original treasury HERE.

Candy Corn Sweetness

This season always has me craving my absolute favorite fall candy, Candy Corn! (Those delicious green apple lollipops come in second place ;)) While I was eating this sweet and yummy candy, I was inspired to create a candy corn purse. This is the finished result.

Zella of course fell in love with it so this one pictured is hers, but if you would like another or know a cutie who would, I have listed a custom candy corn purse in my etsy store.

You can find it HERE

Stay Sweet! ;)

A Cozy Treasury

October has arrived and it is already extremely chilly here in Ohio. My hat and leg warmer orders are beginning to pick up and I am finishing up an adorable newborn pumpkin hat order and another special fall purse today that I will be featuring in my Etsy store later on this week. ;)
I am very honored to have my Girly Ruffle Leg Warmers featured in this cozy little treasury created by lemondaisydesign. You can see the actual treasury HERE.

Those little newborn stocking hats are simply precious.

Ruffles and a Valentine Treasury

I would like to thank ImSewCrafty for including my Euro Floral Cloche hat in her adorable Valentine treasury. Everything looks so pretty and sugary sweet. You can view the treasury HERE. This treasury has really put me in the Valentine mood! I think I may crochet a few hearts this evening. There is a heart swag pattern I have been wanting to work on.
I recently finished a pair of girly ruffle leg warmers in shades of green for a special mommy customer. I really like this style in green.

New listings, New Designs

Sugar3 Faze2 is having their Boy Meets Girl Valentine themed launch this week. I listed a brand new leg warmer design for the occasion.
Introducing the Girly Girl Ruffle Leg Warmers!

You can find the ebay listing for them HERE. Don't want to wait for the auction to end? You can buy them now in my Etsy Store HERE! Don't forget to search Sugar3 Faze2 Meet for the adorable matching outfit and accessories.

I have been busy today adding a few more designs to my Etsy store. A few oldies like the Cat's Hat and The Elf Hat. And a few newbies too!

Xiera has been asking me to make her a kitty cat hat for a long time now so I went ahead and made her one similar to one I had made for a customer last year.

I have another brand new design to share; The Fun Fringe Tassel Hat.

This cute hat can be made in an infant size up to an adult size. It can also be made in a variety of colors.

You can find Kitty Cuteness and the Fun Fringe Tassel Hat both listed in my Etsy store.

A Cupcake Treasury

I received an email this morning from Lenore of strawberrycouture (an amazing crochet hat designer on Etsy so go and check her out!) She created the most yummy Etsy cupcake treasury and included my Pink Cupcake Party Purse!


Isn't it deliciously sweet? Thanks Lenore!

A Caterpillar Treasury

I was so thrilled to hear that my Hungry Caterpillar hat design was featured in someone's treasury on Etsy today. And what an adorable treasury it is!


Thank you CottageOnTheCoast for putting a smile on my face!!
