Notes

My friend and neighbor keeps buying TMNT toys for her grandson to play with at her house, then he’ll ask to take them with him, and she’ll end up buying new ones.
She’s drawn the line and says the turtles will have to come back if he wants to have them to play with at her house and tells him she misses ‘her’ turtles. (All in fun)
I’m making these so she’ll have her own special turtles again. She is also a crafter but her hands can’t really take it anymore so she lives through me. I think she’ll like these a lot.

Didn’t pay attention to dimensions listed, first turtle came out bigger than expected. Didn’t want to crowd her small apartment with toys so gave her the first one with the offer to make the other three if she’d like them. She LOVED him. Said she’d love to have the full set if I want to make them, and that her grandkids would be jealous but she was keeping them at her place. Going to have to use multiple greens in stash, don’t want to buy more RHSS if I can help it.

Turtle 1: spring green
Turtles 2 & 3: paddy green
Turtle 4: leaf green

Got the cutest phone call yesterday! Anne’s grandsons wanted to thank me for making the turtles. Those boys are so precious.
