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!
Thank you so much for visiting!

Lotty is a sweet little mousie who just loves to snuggle!
She’s a pretty patchwork mouse about 7 1/2 inches tall with 3 1/2 inch sweet and floppy ears. She’s just the right size for little hands. Her ears, tail,and little limbs are wonderful for early grasping.

Lotty is made of a super soft wheat colored cotton velvet. She has pretty pink plaid cotton accents, to include a cute little knotted mouse tail.

Lotty has adorable handstitched cotton eyes, nose and smile. She also has a pretty little handstitched apple red wool heart full of love.
Lotty’s stuffing is weighted with double washed pebbles sewn securely into a muslin pouch in her tummy. This makes her slightly and very pleasingly heavy, and irresistible for little hands to hold and hug.

Lotty is completely child friendly, and would be the perfect friend for even the tiniest little one. Lotty would love to keep her little friend company at naptime, and she loves to jump into the diaper bag for on the go adventure and fun.

Handmade is the very best way to say I love you!

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 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 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’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 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.
Coney Meadowfoot is made with high quality new and repurposed, natural and hypoallergenic materials-he’s beautiful and a responsible way to reuse lovely, “forgotten” fabrics~something we just love!
And handmade is the very best way to say “I love you”!

Little Lentil is a soft brown cotton mousie! He gives a friendly smile, and a listening ear, and he loves to be held and hugged, and carried along on adventure.

Lentil is made of soft cotton knit and coordinating floral patchwork with pretty shades of mustard,sage,cranberry and rose. He has sweet handstitched eyes,nose and smile.

Lentil also has a cute little handsewn cherry wool heart full of love, and a little patchwork tail with a knot at the end.

He is completely child friendly, and has pleasing contrast in color and pattern, very interesting to babies.
Lentil’s stuffing is weighted with a few double washed pebbles securely sewn into a muslin pouch in his tummy to make him a little heavy, and pleasing for little hands to hold and carry.

Lentil is waldorf style. We love the open simplicity and homespun nature of Waldorf creations. They inspire imaginative play, and their little faces reflect the emotion of the child playing with them.
Lentil loves to snuggle, and he’s the perfect quiet little friend to take along in the carseat or in the diaper bag.
Lentil is safe and hypoallergenic, and would cheer up an isolette too!
He’s about 7 1/2 inches tall.

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 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’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 loves to wear his soft, cream colored merino wool hat decorated with rustic, old fashioned jingle bell.
Wilson Bearson is one of a kind and individually made. He would make a wonderful gift for someone you love who loves handmade bears, or add him to your own treasures.
Wilson is made with much love, and is safe for anyone over the age of 3 (due to small parts).
Teddy bears are wonderful friends, so even if your little one is very small, Wilson would love to sit on a shelf in their room as a decoration until they get old enough to play.

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.

Hide and seek is his favorite game and he’s so agreeable, he’ll even be the first to do the counting and seeking while you hide. What a nice, sweet bear to have around!

Jubal is 13 inches tall from head to foot (about 8 1/2 inches sitting). He’s made of a soft black wool and he has buttery soft, wheat colored suede accents.

Jubal’s pretty eyes are amber glass safety eyes. His sweet nose and smile are handstitched with black cotton floss.
Jubal’s stuffing is weighted so make him feel pleasingly heavy and “real” when you hold and hug him.
Jubal is 5 way cotter pin jointed with extra strong galvanized steel cotter pins we made right here on the Moor. His joints are 1/4 inch hardwood disks. He can pose in many cute ways.
Jubal is wearing a set of homespun comfy cotton plaid and flannel overalls with cris-cross straps and snaps at the shoulders.

Jubal would make a wonderful bear friend for anyone over the age of 3, or add him to a nursery as a beautiful decoration. He’ll wait patiently till his little friend gets old enough to play; He’d also love to just come home and be your friend!
Jubal is one of a kind, and individually made like all the sweet bears here on the Moor. He’s made with much love, and comes with a card dated and signed by the artist.

With the weather getting cooler, some of us bears here on the Moor asked if we could have some cozy winter hats to go out and play in. We were so happy with ours, that we asked if some could be made for you too!

I had to try them all on of course
The hats are handmade here on the Moor with lots of love, out of beautiful natural fibers. This brown one I’m wearing is going to a bearfriend in California.
Here’s another beautiful stocking cap, made of evergreen cotton cable knit and accented with a super cute rustic jingle bell:
Here’s a beautiful angora fair isle grey winter hat, warm and soft just like a bunny!

These hats aren’t just for bears! Any rabbit, lamb, other animal friend, or doll my size might like a cozy hat too! Contact the Craggy Moor for sizing details.

And last but not least, a beautiful cream colored italian merino wool hat with crystal star pendant!

All hats have free shipping in the U.S. and for bears outside the U.S. we can calculate shipping for you.
If you’d like ear holes in your hat, we can do that too! We’ll tell you how to measure, and we’ll put some in for you before we send it.

All of our hats are one of a kind, individually made, and our supply of adorable wools, cottons and other natural materials changes all the time so each hat is unique!
Thanks so much for taking a peek.

I wanted to do a quick post on this adorable custom mouse pair for our Craggy Friend Janie! She ordered a white mouse in memory of a favorite pet; and then a country mouse for her friend.
Angelina Meadowgrove is an adorable wool/silk blend mousie with pretty country apple plaid cotton accents!
Rosie Snowdrop is a beautiful white angora mouse with pink floral linen accents.
Sometimes sweet Craggy Moor Collectibles come and go too quickly for me to post for you!

One such cutie is Katie Flowerseed. She was just adopted and is travelling to Canada! We’ve been able to send quite a few of these patchwork mousies out to new loving homes, and we thank you so much if you’ve adopted one.

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 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’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’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.

Audrey Woolbear is handmade with much love for you or someone you love!
