little amis for a little girl

I recently got a huge box of unwanted yarn from one of my mom's co-workers (yeah, I know, there's no such thing as unwanted yarn...) and decided to give something as a "thank you". Since he has a little granddaughter, I thought I'll make something for her.
My idea was something small to fit in a tiny hand, but nit too small, so that it's safe.
I chose tiny striped turtle pattern and made this little guy:

The colors are a bit dark, sorry...

Later I thought about making a similar animal with similar color so that she has a pair of new friends. With the help of this amigurumi snail pattern after a few minutes the second pal was ready.

Much better colors on this one.

I made the snail's shell in two colors and attempted to make this swirl visible, but I'm not sure it turned out right. Overall, I'm really satifsied with bioth projects and might be making more in the future:)
