Two new yard finder designs

It is hard to imagine, but I have crocheted more than 500 tortoise cozies and yard finders since the beginning of this year. The orders keep on coming, and I love the creative challenge when clients ask me for a new design. Here are two of my new designs:

The Shamrock yard finder. After all, you don't want someone to pinch your tortoise for not wearing green on St. Patty's day, right?!

The Valentine. Because as long as you feed her, your tortoise will always be your Valentine, no matter what.

My Etsy shop MossyTortoise looks terribly empty right now, because for the last few months, my orders have almost exclusively been custom orders. If you would like me to make you a tortoise cozy, just swing by my Etsy shop, and click on the 'Request Custom Order' button on the left side. Once you've contacted me via MossyTortoise, I will send you measuring instructions.

Mossy Tortoise Etsy shop is now open!

I am so excited to announce that I opened my tortoise-themed Etsy shop last night! One of the little paintings and a few of the tortoise flowers have already sold... I'm working hard to keep my shop stocked, and will add more items as I create them.

First, the link: Mossy Tortoise - if you purchase before Monday, you can save 15% with the coupon code "GRANDOPENING" in the last step of the check-out process.

10% of the income from this Etsy shop will be donated to International Reptile Rescue.

Here is a little sneak peak of some of the items I have listed. The "tortoise flowers" are my own little invention, and are meant to be put on a tortoise when you let them roam in your garden (with supervision, please), to make them more easily visible.
