Tug Fieldmouse waits at the window

Tug Fieldmouse is getting ready to travel to his true love, LaMerle. He’s brushed his whiskers, perked up his ears and can’t wait to get on the road! LaMerle travelled on ahead to their new home, and also waits eagerly to see her sweetheart again.

Tug Fieldmouse is made of beautiful medium brown wool, with pretty country apple plaid accents. He is button jointed with lovely natural shell buttons.

Tug’s pretty eyes are shining black cat’s eye beads with navy highlights. His sweet nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss.

Tug’s stuffing is weighted to make him slightly heavy and “real” feeling when held. We also acquired a new supply of dry lavender! So we added a pinch to his stuffing and he smells so nice.

Tug Fieldmouse is one of a kind, handmade and made with much love. He will come with a card dated and signed by the artist.

If you love Tug and would like your own sweet brown fieldmouse, contact us today! We’d love to make you one!

Coney Meadowfoot knocked upon our door….

Coney Meadowfoot2

Coney Meadowfoot darted across the Moor with Crazy Fox in quick persuit. Suddenly I heard a “Bambambam” on my front door and looked down to see Coney drumming frantically with a big bunny foot. I quickly let him in, and just in time too! Crazy Fox sneered in our direction and darted back into the wood. I comforted Coney with a cup of meadow tea and a crumpet.

Coney Meadowfoot
Coney Meadowfoot is full of old fashioned charm. He’s  a 9 inch tall, chocolate brown cable knit bunny. He has wonderfully long 5 inch ears. His ears have a pad of wool felt inside to make them stand up. You can also adjust them in different cute ways.

Coney Meadowfoot4
Coney is cotton, with folksy wheat flannel plaid accents detailed with tiny lines of chocolate and evergreen. He’s incredibly huggy and warm and soft. His little muzzle is soft wheat colored velvet.

Coney even has a real cottontail made of snowy white cotton yarn.

Coney Meadowfoot5

Coney’s stuffing is weighted to make him slightly heavy and “real” feeling when held. He’s button jointed with beautiful, natural hardwood buttons.

Coney’s pretty eyes are shining black cat’s eye beads with navy highlights. His sweet nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss.
Coney Meadowfoot3
Coney would make a wonderful gift for anyone over the age of 3,or add him to a nursery for an adorable decoration! He said he’d be happy to wait patiently until his little friend is old enough to play. (as long as there are no foxes :0)

Coney would also love to come home and be your friend too! He’s individually made like all the sweet hares here on the Moor. He’ll come with a card dated and signed by the Artist.

Meet Wilson Bearson!

Wilson Bearson wonders about snow...

Wilson Bearson stared out the window longingly. The cold winter wind had blown away the dusting of snow from the previous day. The pretty icy powder had retreated once more to dry green grasses. He sat back down to polish the runners of his little wooden sled. “It’s ok,” I told him, “The winter will come.” I pushed a tiny steaming cup his way. “Have a sip of cocoa….”

Wilson Bearson
Wilson Bearson is a soft and beautiful chocolate brown velvet bear made from a wonderfully classic, vintage inspired pattern. He’s 11 inches tall (7 inches sitting).

Wilson Bearson2
Wilson’s accents are a classic cherry red flannel plaid, perfect because he loves the winter and loves to snuggle!

Wilson is stuffed with wool, and weighted to make him pleasingly heavy when held and hugged. Wilson is button jointed with lovely, vintage wood toggle buttons with a pretty basket weave texture and matching chocolate brown color.
Wilson’s sweet nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss. His eyes are beautiful amber glass safety eyes.

Wilson Bearson's cute winter wool hat

Wilson is made with much love, and is safe for anyone over the age of 3 (due to small parts).

Jubal Westingbear

Jubal Westingbear fit right in. He colored a picture with the children and other bears this morning during school time. Then he ate all his peanut butter sandwich at lunch, even the crusts! He laughed at all the silly parts of the story at storytime, and curled right up and went to sleep on his mat at naptime.

He loves to wear his comfy cotton overalls and snuggle under the covers a little extra long in the morning, but just ask and he’ll help with anything he can around the house.

Meet Audrey Ann Woolbear!

audrey ann woolbear

Audrey Ann Woolbear dashed out into the crisp air to play. Her breath made little wispy clouds around her soft muzzle as she laughed and sang, playing hide and seek around the trunk of her favorite old oak tree. Her person laughed along with her, and silly songs rang through the frosty morning air…

audrey ann woolbear4

Audrey Ann Woolbear is a sweet 5 way jointed bear standing at 13 inches (9 inches sitting). She is made of a beautiful caramel colored brushed wool. Her paws are lined with an equally lovely and soft evergreen suede.

Audrey’s joints are made with hardwood disks, and our own extra strong galvanized steel cotter pins. This type of jointing gives her an old fashioned look we just love so much. Audrey’s head turns, and her limbs are poseable in so many adorable ways.

Audrey is firmly stuffed, like old fashioned bears we remember. Her stuffing is weighted too, to give her a delightfully heavy, and “real” feeling when held and hugged.

audrey ann woolbear3

Audrey’s sweet winter hat is made from a soft cotton repurposed sweater with a beautiful fair-isle inspired pattern on charcoal grey.

Audrey is dressable in any of your favorite doll clothes too! Clothes that fit a 12-16 inch doll would fit her nicely (styles vary, so the best way to know is to try them on her).

audrey ann woolbear2

Audrey’s pretty eyes are amber glass safety eyes. Her sweet nose and mouth are handstitched with black cotton floss and much love.

Audrey would be a safe and loveable friend for anyone over the age of 3. She would also make a wonderfully whimsical, vintage inspired decoration for a little one’s nursery-ready and waiting for play days when her little friend gets older.

Audrey is one of a kind, and individually made, so she’s also the perfect addition to your own collection of special handmade bears too! She comes with a card dated and signed by the Artist.
