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”!
Thank you for visiting!

 Here is a quick rundown with Christiana Bear’s help of some of the new friends coming and going here on the Moor!

Christiana is a new bear who lives here. I’m still working on her nose to get it just right but she wanted to pose with her friend Maebella before Maebella left to go to her new home.

 Hickory Scamperfoot is a sweet Storybook Hare that we made as a swap for this beautiful toy

 from Ticki Tacki Toys 

I couldn’t resist. I just love natural toys! I loved their teethers and rattles, but this made more sense. It stacks and its like 5 teethers in one lol!

 Ewey was adopted this week, and is on her way to her new home.

 You know Monkeys don’t hang around long, and Marty Monkton is not exception. He left yesterday too!

 Bentley is an adorable wool and suede bear custom made for a little boy in Michigan. He wanted to take his mohair scarf along because he heard Michigan can get quite chilly in wintertime.

 Wilfred Bearingham is also another very pleasant and well mannered bear custom made, and headed to his new home.

 Patter was adopted this week too! He can’t wait to be a good friend to someone very sweet and special.

 Rita was adopted too (Rufus said he’d miss her so but he understands)

Rita will be living in a little granddaughter’s nursery, and that is a very special and high calling for a storybook bunny

 And Chelsea Fieldmouse was born today and was adopted today too! She’s going to live with our friend Mabel.  oops! Looks like Mabel adopted Chelsea when no one was home hee hee! It’s ok, Chelsea doesn’t eat much.

One of our new hedgie pockets went to live with our friend Janie

Our new waldorf style hedgehog toys are completely child friendly and they really flip into a ball!

Whew! Needless to say its been a buuuuuusy last little while! If I left anyone out, I’ll post pics of them soon.

Time to get back to things!

We’ve had some new waldorf  lambs and bunnies “born” this week, as well as one waldorf bear named Patter.

We love Waldorf style friends because their sweet faces are uncomplicated and open, friendly, inspiring imaginative play. Simple sweet faces tend to “reflect” the emotion that the child is feeling.

We love when our little ones come to us with their little Waldorf friends (our daughters have waldorf bears). They’ll say “Waffles is hungry” or “Wooby was mad at Caleb because he made him wrestle”. Its so cute!

We now have 2 “Baapy” lambs on the Moor:

Ewey and Jeffey!

We also have two waldorf bunnies:

Baby Rita and Baby Rupert-patterned after our collectible cotterpin jointed pair.

Our baby bunnies and Baapys are made with soft, huggable cotton. Their stuffing is weighted to give them that just right, slightly heavy, “real” feeling when held and carried.

The Baapy lambs have floppy ears, and the bunnies and Patter have floppy ears and arms that are just right for early grasping.

Our waldorf baby animals might be just the right gift for a preemie! They would make a safe, and cheery addition to the isolette, and can be used to prop baby in different sleeping positions. Patterns and easy to see contrasting faces will encourage interest during waking hours.

We made them to be easy to care for. If any of our waldorf animal friends gets soiled, simply place in a pillow case, wash with mild soap on gentle cycle, and dry in low heat, or air dry. Fluff to reshape if needed. Minor soilings need only to be spot cleaned with a cloth and mild soap/damp cloth.

Stop by the Craggy Moor to learn more, and adopt one today!

Whew! It’s been busy here this week! Here are some pics of what we’ve been up to!

Stop on by the Moor to find out more, and meet our new friends!

Rupert Rabbit  joined his sister Rita today on the Moor. They are a very sweet, huggable, poseable pair.  As soon as Rupert was finished both patchwork hares jumped up and down on my bed, and then scampered away to have some fun…haven’t seen them since lol! If you adopt one or both of these sweethearts, you’ll have your hands full!

    Henley and Pemberton arrived safe and sound at their new home and they have a new blog! It’s going to be so much fun reading about their adventures, as they enjoy their new life.

Henley Woolmouse and Pemberton

As you can see, they are already hanging around the place having fun!

 We are very excited to send Tilly Woolmouse to Italy tomorrow!! She is going to be a friend to a little girl named Federica (what a lovely name!) but sssshhhh Tilly needs to hide till Christmas! Tilly is so excited, I hope she doesn’t pop out of hiding too early!

Tilly has a few sisters, newly born. They are already adopted!(thank you so much!!) We are just telling them about the wonderful new places they’ll be traveling to. We’ll post pics when they are finished and ready to go.

Some more of our Craggy Moor Friends got in touch with us, and told us about their blog too!

 Grabel and Jenny Woolmouse wanted to tell us and you about their new adventures! You can read about them here

Jenny Woolmouse and Grabel

Autumn days are busy days here on the Moor but we LOVE it! Big thank you’s and hugs to our newly adopted Craggy Moor Friends, and especially to the wonderful folks who adopted them!!

There are new bears, hares, and lambs in the works this week too. Check back often to see who pops up!

Rita Rabbit seems to have hopped right off the page of a favorite childhood classic! She’s 10 inches tall from head to foot, 15 inches from eartip to toe! She’s made of a wonderful buttercream colored cotton with sweetly matching cotton calico accents. She has a bit of super soft angora on her muzzle too!
Her stuffing is weighted to give her that nice, slightly heavy, “real” feel we love so much.

Rita’s sweet nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss. Her eyes are pretty amber tigers eye stone beads.

Like all good rabbits, Rita has a sweet cotton tail, made of white cotton yarn.

Rita is a very special rabbit because she is delightfully poseable. She is 5 way cotter pin jointed with hardwood disks and our own galvinized steel handmade cotter pins. They have proven to be much more durable than a standard cotter pin!

We love the “wobble joint” set up because it makes Rita floppy and huggy like a baby, but sturdy, and so much fun to carry and pose.

Rita Rabbit is one of a kind, and individually made. Each of our Rabbits have their own sweet look-perfect for gift giving or add Rita to your own Warren of sweet animal friends!

Coming soon! Rita’s brother Rupert!

Because Rita has small parts, please use your discretion when buying for children under age 3.

Handmade is the very best way to say I love you!
Thanks so much for visiting!

Rita is up for adoption today!

Sweet Betsy went to her beautiful home in San Diego (more about Betsy in a minute)

Someone saw Betsy, and went to the Moor and found Knut! Knut was born two days ago, and  is already travelling to his home in Michigan today!

We are so thankful to the Lord and to all the wonderful people we’ve met here on the Moor who have adopted our animal friends! We hope they’ll be enjoyed for years to come.

Did you see something you love, and would like to have made for your very own(or for someone you love)? We love doing custom orders. Just email or convo us with the Craggy Moor design you see and like, and we’ll be happy to make it for you. Each of our little Craggy Friends are individually made, and have their own sweet look.

**********************************************************

“There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late” (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket or a watch to take out of it, and, burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.”-Lewis Carrol

I’m sure you’ve been wondering where we’ve been lately! It’s been a long time since we posted, but we’ve been busy with lots of cuteness!

A very kind lady asked us to custom make her some sweet little friends, and we have a sneak peek for you! You can find more pics and sneak peeks of our items at our Flickr page too!

It’s been so much fun creating these sweet little friends! If you love any of these and want one for your own, we can surely custom make one for you. In the meantime, we have a few new friends made and ready to post at the store for sale, so keep checking back!

Time to get back to the sewing machine
