Bramble lived in the family pantry. His job was to stock and organize the shelves,sweep the floor, and sift the flours to keep them clean. He trundled along the floor pointing his nose into corners and crevices spying out choice buggy morsels. This was a great help and something he really enjoyed in the quiet watches of the night. As the sun came up he nodded sleepily as his family of people began their day, and grunted as the little girl lifted him into the warmth of her apron pocket. Here was his favorite place to take a nap…
Meet Bramble Thistlebatch, our very first button jointed hedgie! We just love hedgehogs, and we’ve been looking for a way to make a Craggy Hedgie for the Moor, and Bramble was born.

Bramble is 6 inches tall, 4 1/2 inches sitting. He’s made of heather grey wool, with wheat colored velvet paw pads.

He’s button jointed with our favorite natural hardwood buttons. His eyes are beautiful navy cat’s eye stone beads with a lovely, subtle sky blue glint.
Bramble’s stuffing is weighted to give him that nice,slightly heavy feel we love in a huggable, loveable friend. He has a touch of dry lavender inside too, to make him smell like the sweet fields he loves to trundle through.
Bramble is wearing a little glasz colored plaid vest (glasz is that beautiful color of the sea in Brittany-a mingle of grey,green and slate blue)

And Bramble’s best feature is his beautiful set of loopy wool “spikes”! They are hand crocheted with beautiful chocolate brown fisherman’s wool, and securely handstitched.
Bramble is lovingly made, and one of a kind. Each Craggy Hedgie is unique and will have his or her own sweet look.
Bramble would make a wonderful gift for someone you love, adopt him and add a sweet handmade hedgie to your own home!

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

We know, its been quiet over on our Etsy store. We wanted to share with you what we’ve been up to!
The first order to come in was a for a cute pair of mice who went to live in far away Malaysia.

The second order to come in was for a trio of mousie friends who will go to live in Australia.

They are some of the first mice to wear the new patterns we’ve been working on for overalls,jumpers, and hooded sweaters!




It’s time to get back to the day, but we wanted to give you a quick update. There are two custom order puppies just finished; and more cute friends in the works too, almost ready to introduce to you, as well as custom orders in the works! We are so excited to be so busy! Check back often because we’ll have more pics coming soon!

Greg and Reg our Raggy Rat Bros. are here!

We were so surprised when our package arrived on Tuesday!

We had hardly opened the package when they popped right out!

We showed them around, and introduced them.

They jumped right into our routine, and helped with school! Greg helped with handwriting

Reggie helped with math.

“Ooooh Greg, what’s that place?”
“It’s Under the Couch Reg….a dark and mysterious place….”

Greg and Reg took their seats and shared some pizza for dinner

And made so many new mousie friends! Before they all go, we wanted to get a pic!
Greg and Reg are constantly running here and there, playing with the children, and having so much fun. We think they’ll fit right in.
Thanks again Cat! They are just precious.

Hi I’m Spotty Barkington!
Can I come live with you? I promise to be good, and not chase the cat too much. I’ll always be glad to see you at the end of the day! I’ll be your best friend and protector against things that go growl, er, bump in the night! I’m just the type of friend to play fetch whenever you want, and snuggle and share the biscuits. So, what do you say? :0)
I’ll tell you a little bit about me:

I’m 10 inches tall from ears to toes (6 inches sitting). I’m made of adorably nubbly black and white cotton knit sweater material. I have soft wheat colored suede paw pads and ear linings.

I’m button jointed with beautiful hardwood buttons that match my suede accents just right! My eyes are shiny cat’s eye stone beads. My cute little nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss, and so are my paws!

My stuffing is weighted to make me feel slightly heavy, and “real” (aren’t I real? I thought I was real!). I have a touch of dry lavender in my stuffing too for added sweetness.
I also have a little leather “dog collar” with cute heart charm.

I’m one of a kind, made with much love, and would make a wonderful friend for anyone over the age of 3. I’d make a wonderful gift for someone you love, or add me to your own family! I come with a card dated and signed by the artist too!

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

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!

To meet her friend in the snowy white storm.

Melissa Fieldmouse (or “Missy” as she’s called by her friends) is a pretty little mouse, about 6 1/2 inches tall. She’s made of soft and lovely wheat colored brown wool. She has soft wheat colored cotton velvet lining her paws, and soft pink cotton lining her adorable, folksy, oversized ears.

Melissa is all ready for winter, wearing her favorite creamy white merino wool stocking cap. It has a cute little glass and wire star pendant on the tip.

Melissa’s button jointed and has beautiful natural hardwood buttons at each joint.
Her eyes are lovely cat’s eye stone bead eyes. Her sweet nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss and much love.

Melissa Fieldmouse is individually made and one of a kind, like all the cute little mousies here on the Moor. She would be a wonderful addition to your collection of handmade treasures, or give her as a gift to someone you love.

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!
Thank you for visiting!

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.
Lentil 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!
