It's still an amphibian....

Awhile ago, I knit up a square to attempt to make a frog based on the bunny pattern (someone made up the frog pattern and posted it to my loom knitting list). Today, I finally had the time to stitch the frog up and see what I came up with.

Well, I made his head too small. And I was looking at it, thinking, "This will never be a good frog..." when it hit me that it may not be a good frog, but it would be an adorable turtle :D

When we got home, I knit/sewed/knotted on a brown shell. I'm not terribly happy with how the shell came out. I wanted a variety of browns in there, but I only had the solid brown in my stash. Also, I think next time, I will crochet something and then just sit it on the top and lightly stitch it on in a few places.

But, he's cute in his ugly own way :P As I was finishing his shell, my son started whining and kissing my arm and cuddling up to me. I finally asked him, "What do you want, honey???" and he just points to the turtle and looked up at me with these big eyes :

Heck, it's his birthday today, how could I say no?! So, he's my son's now :D I wasn't going to put any face on him, but my son requested "polka-dots" which after much discussion I figured out was eyes, so he has eyes now.
