I just finished Aberly Suffolk and I’m waiting to hear back from a customer. I just wanted to give you a peek at him too.
Aberly has all my favorite things in a lamby friend:
Soft velvet, and sweet floral patchwork
Beautiful hardwood button joints, and friendly loving face.
He’s everything a soul could want in a loving lamby friend. 
This cute little Sooty lamb is the first of a line of new lambs to be born soon here on the Moor! I posted pics of Sooty on flickr to see how folks liked her.
Our friend Cat over at 
contacted me and just loved Sooty. I asked Sooty if she’d like to go live with Cat in far away U.K. and she said that sounded like a wonderful adventure!
I’ve loved Cat’s Raggy’s for a long time. Her sweeties were some of the first I visited when we started our flickr account. I just love her little standing Ratties! They are full of personality, sweet and absolutely adorable. Cat has pet rats, and I can tell how much she loves them by the care and tenderness she puts into the expression of each little one she makes.
So….when Cat asked about a trade, I said “YES!!” right away! I love natural colors, and she made one grey, and one brown.
Here they are! Cat took a pic of Gregory and Reginald Raggy Rat. They are making the long trek across the water to us this week. We can’t wait to meet them in person. The children say Reggie looks like Remmie from Ratatouille so we also hope he loves to cook
So, we say a fond goodbye to Sooty, and get ready for Sooty’s sisters and brother lambs to be born soon. And we eagerly await our little box full of Greggie and Reggie!
More pics to come when they arrive and have a look around.
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!
is the new flickr group started by our new friend Tracy (mom to Mabel)! If you have a Craggy Moor lamb,bear,or bunny with stories, blog, or pics to share, come on over and join the fun! We just love seeing how our beary special friends are doing these days!
Here are the beary sweet members who’ve jointed already! We’d love to see you there!
A picture’s worth a thousand words! We wanted to share the cute friends that have sold from the store recently! A BIG thank you to our wonderful customers, and repeat customers~we love you!!
Two more white rabbits sold~ the first pic is “Cameron” and the above pic is of “White” (for a real Alice! I just think that’s so cool!)
This sweet pair sold and is going to be a gift for someone’s Mom for Christmas.
Sweet little Sarah Shropshire is travelling to her new home to be a Christmas present also!
Another tweed bunny hopped out of the Craggy Warren and into a box to be a gift for someone’s Mom too!
Sootyfoot Cottonwool has been adopted, and will start her journey all the way up to Alberta Canada this weekend.
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.
Nestled in her mama’s care, or skipping across the
Moor, Sootyfoot Cottonwool is a happy little lamb. She loves to nibble the delicate purple clover dotting the green grasses, and gently nuzzle her mama ewe when the cool autumn breezes blow. Still, that irresistible, old wood fence entices her. Someday she will try to jump it!
Sootyfoot Cottonwool is 9 inches tall from head to hoof, 6 inches sitting. She’s made of creamy soft cotton repurposed sweater material with a wonderful, thick texture. Sootyfoot’s hooves, muzzle and ear linings are a beautiful,charcoal colored velvetty wool that contrasts her coat very nicely.
Sootyfoot’s sweet face is handstitched with black cotton floss, and her eyes are pretty, shining navy jet beads.
Sootyfoot is string tied and button jointed with folksy little handmade square wood buttons. They give a charming and whimsical touch to her sweet and classic features.
Her stuffing has a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s deep within her tummy and feet to make her pleasingly heavy, and “real” feeling.
Sootyfoot Cottonwool would make a charming gift for someone you love. She is individually made with much love from gently cared for repurposed and brand new materials. She will come with a card dated and signed by the artist too!
Sootyfoot is securely made, however, as with all toys, can dissasemble with rough play. Due to her small parts, we must tell you to use your discretion when purchasing for the very young (under age 3).
Handmade is the very best way to say I love you!
Thanks so much for visiting!
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
Nestled in his mama’s care, or skipping across the Moor, Soot Woolyfoot is a happy little lamb. He loves to nibble the delicate purple clover dotting the green grasses, and play “king of the hill” with his lambie cousins. Soot loves to wander too! His little tinkling bell is often heard just on the other side of the old wood fence.
Soot Woolyfoot is 9 inches tall from head to hoof, 6 inches sitting. He’s made of creamy soft cotton repurposed sweater material with a wonderful, thick texture. Soot’s hooves, muzzle and ear linings are a beautiful,charcoal colored velvetty wool that contrasts Soot’s coat very nicely.
Soot’s sweet face is handstitched with black cotton floss, and his eyes are pretty, shining black glass beads.
Soot is string tied and button jointed with folksy little handmade square wood buttons. They give a charming and whimsical touch to his sweet and classic features.
Soot is stuffed with hypoallergenic, premium quality, high loft polyfil, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s deep within his tummy and feet to make him pleasingly heavy, and “real” feeling. He has a cute little copper bell around his neck, secured with a leather cord.

We’ve made two new, adorable lambs here on the Craggy Moor this week!
Sarah Shropshire, (12 inches tall from head to hoof) is a cotter pin or “wobble” jointed sheep with a wonderful floppy, poseable nature so endearing in those old fashioned stuffed animal friends we remember and love. She is made of lambswool in a pretty cafe au lait color with deliecate varigated mocha and cream colors. She is stuffed with our favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s to make her pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling.
Sarah’s ear linings and the bottoms of her hooves and lining of her cute little tail are country plaid homespun in warm autum tones that pair so nicely with her lambswool.
Sarah’s sweet face is handstitched with chocolate brown cotton floss. Her eyes are amber colored glass safety eyes.
And Meet Sarah’s lamb Ewey!
Ewey Shropshire is 6 inches tall, with 4 inch long legs. She’s made of all the same beautiful fabrics that Sarah is. Ewey is button jointed, with beautiful flower shaped vintage metal buttons from our vintage button collection. They have such a lovely yesterday feel and style, that pairs well with Ewey’s own old fashioned looks.
Ewey’s little face is handstitched with chocolate and mustard colored cotton floss and her sweetly shining eyes are beautiful navy jet beads with subtle navy and medium blue highlights.
Sarah and Ewey are such a cute pair, but they are also for sale individually. They are collectibles, and though they are sewn securely, they are not suitable for children under the age of 12.
Either of these sweet sheep would make a wonderful, unique handmade gift for someone you love, or add them to your own collectible treasures! Each lamb is individually made and one of a kind here on the Moor, and comes with a card dated and signed by the Artist.
Thank you so much for visiting!
