I had a lovely day with my lovely friend Helen yesterday. We watched kids films, chatted, ate chocolate and crocheted – bliss! I started on a pattern I found here at Little Muggles and managed to finish him off this afternoon.
He was a little shy to begin with, but soon came out to say hello.
He was fascinated by the plant, from the roots…
..to the flowers.
He thought the leaves were very tasty.
Isn’t he a cutie? I decided to call him Timmy and I already have plans for a girl turtle to keep him company – any suggestions for girl turtle names will be most welcome 
Perhaps you can crochet the shell in purple or pink and then attach a button on the head…she would look really cute!
Ooo, I love the idea of including a button somewhere!
Laura!
I love little Timmy Turtle. I can’t wait to see the little girl turtle and I thought of a perfectly good name for her; Tamara!
Hugs, Tamara
Great name! I’ve nearly finished all the parts now, she just needs stuffing
Or you could call her Tammy for short. I go by that name also.
You are as silly with your turtle as I am with my sheep. I’m laughing over here!!! Tamara Turtle definitely has a great ring to it.
Glad I made you laugh! I have to say, I had a lot of fun taking photos of Timmy. And it’ll be even better when I have 2 of them!
Timmy is very cute!! How about Tallulah for his sister? (Although Tamara is good too – maybe Timmy needs two sisters?) That last photo is my favorite I think
Happy hooking! Helen
Thank you
Even though I haven’t finished the girl yet I’ve already been thinking ahead – I might try making some smaller ones and having a whole family! Watch this space…
