Turtles
Here is the second crocheting project for baby that I mentioned a couple posts ago. A turtle mama with some surprises!
There is an opening in the back end of the large turtle, out of which comes all the rest of the pieces. All in all the whole project is eight pieces including, the mama turtle, two babies, four eggs and one cracked egg. I was so ready for it to be done and those babies were hard to make! Small things are always harder to make. I’m surprised I’m not cross-eyed by now.
It’s from the same craft book as the Peas in a Pod (Ana Paula Rimoli’s Amiguri Two!). I’ve already been asked about the eyes and their baby-safeness. They are safety eyes and though I’ve tried my hardest to get them out (never with any success) I would recommend supervising baby when playing with any dolls with hard plastic eyes.

@teddybearswednesday: Thanks so much! I know, I love how interactive it is. I'm still working on my invisible decrease to make my spheres more uniform, but I'm getting there! I will have to check out etsy for the eyes because the place near my house doesn't have a large variety of sizes for safety eyes.
