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!

**We use natural fiber, new and repurposed materials that we gently care for here on the Moor. Our desire is to make adorable hedgehogs like Bramble a gift that’s unique and handmade, and something we’d love to give, and responsible too!

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!

Missy Fieldmouse is quiet and small
She doesn’t make much noise at all.
She put on her hat, all fleecy and warm,
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 is just right to tuck into a pocket and go on any adventure. She would make a fun and unique friend to anyone over the age of 3 (due to small parts, please use your discretion when buying for the very young).

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.
Melissa will come with a card dated and signed by the artist.

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”!

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!

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!

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!

Does anyone need a high spirited, incredibly loveable teddy bear with an incredible penchant for chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream? Grabel tries to be good, but we keep catching him in the freezer…he says its just because he likes the cold, but we know better!

Grabel Bainbridge is a wonderfully floppy polar teddy bear. He’s 10 inches tall, 6 inches sitting. He is made of a beautiful white and black cotton fleck repurposed sweater material that really gives him softness and personality. He has a buttery soft wheat colored suede muzzle, and lovely coordinating navy plaid cotton lining his paws and ears.

Grabel is button jointed with lovely, unfinished blonde wood buttons that match his muzzle nicely. His sweet nose and smile are handstitched with black cotton floss.

Grabel has shining navy blue cat’s eye bead eyes. We love the unique “moving” glint of a cat’s eye bead!

He has a velvet ribbon collar with a sweet little heartshaped swing tag that reads “handmade with love”.

Grabel’s stuffing is weighted to give him a delightful slightly heavy, “real” feel when held.

Grabel is so huggable, and he loves to pose in so many cute ways (he really is a ham when you get the camera out!)

He is wonderfully unique, individually made and one of a kind (all our bears here on the Moor have their own sweet look!). Grabel Bainbridge comes with a card with his birthday and artist signature. He would be perfect as a gift, or add him to your own snuggle of treasured friends.

Grabel is securely made with new and repurposed, hypoallergenic and natural materials, all gently cared for here on the Moor. He does have small parts, so please use your discretion when buying for the very young.

He sure is small, but he has a great big heart! Meet Eli Bearington! He’s just right to fit in a pocket and tag along on all kinds of adventures. At the end of the day he’s perfect to share a little snack (he promises not to take too big a bite-being a bear of very small size)
 
Eli is a modest but adorable 6 inches tall (4 inches sitting). He’s made of super soft, irresistibly huggable blue cotton velvet. His paw pads are a pretty, vintage inspired cotton plaid with stripes of mustard, plum and wheat.

His stuffing is weighted to make him delightfully heavy and “real” feeling when you hold him.

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

He’s button jointed with engraved, silver metal bead buttons at each joint. His collar is black suede with a sweet heart shaped charm that reads “handmade with love”.

Eli is individually handmade with much love. His materials are repurposed and brand new, natural and hypoallergenic. He comes with a card dated and signed by the artist.

He’d make a wonderful, unique gift for someone you love, or tuck him into your own special treasures.
