Shelley the Turtle -- Stuffed Animal and Book Pairing

Here he is, the first stuffed animal I've made EVER!  Is he perfect?  Heck, no!  But is he still cute?  Ab-so-lute-ly.  I got the pattern and instructions from Ashley Johnston at Make It Love It.

You can find the pattern here:

Zoe has really been grooving on turtles and tortoises lately.  They are always her favorite at the zoos we've visited, and the Shelley the Turtle character is her favorite in the book we're reading a lot lately, Happy and Sad, Grouchy and Glad.  Shelley has also been featured on several Sesame Street episodes.
