On the Moor

Meet Ellie Bearsley! She’s our newest 9 inch bear, full of handmade sweetness.

A few things that make Ellie special:

She’s 5 way cotter pin jointed with our own extra strong cotter pins and hardwood disks. She’s made of a lovely brushed wool in our favorite caramel brown.

Ellie is wearing her favorite handknit pastel verigated cotton overalls accented with natural hardwood buttons. 

We thought we’d have some fun and put Ellie on Ebay!  Here’s her link if you’d like to visit her, find out more about her, and put in a bid!

Our sweet Betsy Bearhardt went to her new home in San Diego, and her family of new bear friends (with the help of their Mama Molly) did a blog of her first outing! We are so honored and happy to see a story about one of our sweet bears:

Molly is such a wonderful lady, and someone I’ve really enjoyed getting to know. Thanks so much Molly for including Betsy in your family of bears. I hope she has a wonderful long life with her new family!

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.

Soot Woolyfoot would make a charming gift for someone you love. He is individually made with much love from gently cared for repurposed and brand new materials. He will come with a card dated and signed by the artist too!

Soot is securely made, however, as with all toys, can dissasemble with rough play. Due to his 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!

Everyone knows this time of year all kinds of little mousies appear. The Craggy Moor is no exception!A special kind of scratching in my sewing box this morning brought the discovery of a sweet little patchwork mouse who calls himself Squeaklin Woolworth. He has a love of all things shiny, and was found quite hapilly nestled among the tempting, burnished vintage buttons!

Squeaklin is 9 inches tall, 6 inches sitting. He’s made of super soft repurposed sky blue wool, interwoven with delicate strands of cream. His cute little pointed muzzle and paw pads are accented with buttery caramel colored cotton velvet.

Squeaklin’s adorable oversized ears, and little knotted tail are coordinating slate and sky blue paisley cotton with a beautiful pattern.

Squeaklin is all natrual on the outside-every surface that would touch tender skin is made of all natural wool and cottons.

On the inside he’s stuffed with hypoallergenic, premium quality clusterfluff, and a touch of dry lavender.
Squeaklin also has steel bbs deep within his tummy and feet to make him pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling.

Squeaklin’s limbs are securely string tied and button jointed with 6 strand cotton floss and beautiful pearly white shell buttons.

His face sweetly smiles, and seems to ask “what fun can we have today?”  He has lovely, shining navy jet eyes, and a cute little handstitched black cotton nose and smile.

Squeaklin Woolworth is just waiting to be special to a new little friend (ages 4 and up due to small parts). Squeaklin is securely made, but as with any toy, rough play could cause damage. Please use your own discretion when buying for the very young.

Squeaklin’s individually made, like all the friends here on the Moor, and would also make a charming handmade gift for any occasion, and for the young at heart too!

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

Hopping and skipping over the Moor, Kailey Rosebriar enjoys the lazy last days of summer. The barest of cool breezes mingles with the warm sun,the autum is approaching and Kailey’s adventures are just beginning!
Kailey is 10 inches tall from her head to her adorable oversized feet, 6 1/2 inches sitting.

She’s made of beautiful heather/cafe au lait colored lambswool. Her accents are lavender and evergreen cotton patterned fabric, giving her a very sweet homespun look.

Kailey is stuffed with soft, brand new hypoallergenic polyfil, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough double washed pebbles deep within her tummy and feet to make her pleasingly heavy, and “real” feeling.

Kailey’s nose is handstitched with pretty lavender cotton floss. Her eyes are deep blue jet beads with pretty highlights that make her eyes shine. Her sweet smile is also handstitched with black cotton floss.

Kailey has lovely shell buttons at her joints that add a sweet, subtle folk art appeal to her that we really love. She even has a sweetly soft handsewn cotton yarn tail.

We hope Kailey Rosebriar will be a very special friend to a very sweet little lady!

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!

Summer is a wonderful time to watch the lambs skipping and playing on the Moor. One spry fellow came up for adoption today!

Meet Liam Cottonwool! He’s full of personality and folk art charm and one of our favorite “storybook” lambs to date!He’s a soft and snuggly collectible with sweetly oversized hooves and long leggy appeal.

Liam is 5 3/4 inch tall (sitting) and made of a wonderfully intricate cotton basket weave sweater material. It has a lovely texture and beautiful pattern full of cafe au lait browns,creamy whites, and just the barest hint of mocha. His accents are cafe au lait cotton velvet.

Liam is jointed with silver metal crested buttons that give him even more folk art appeal.

Liam’s sweet nose is handstitched with a coordinating olive colred cotton floss, and his eyes are antique bronze czech glass beads.

Liam’s stuffed with the Craggy Moor’s favorite stuffing too!
100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bbs to make him pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling as he sits in your hand.

Liam would make an adorable and unique gift for someone you love, or add him to your own flock!

A very shy and thoughtful bunny is looking for someone to love her.

Meet Victoria Scamperfoot! She’s an adorable little 8 inch button jointed bunny with real old fashioned appeal.

Victoria is made of our pretty and soft caramel cashmere/wool blend repurposed material (gently cleaned and cared for). She has whimsically striped cotton knit ear linings, and plum colored corduroy paw pads.

Victoria’s stuffed with our favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender and just enough steel bbs deep inside to make her pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling in your hand.

Victoria’s joints are accented with natural, unfinished, smooth wood buttons that add even more to her irresistable “yesterday” appearance.

Her little face is simply handstitched with cotton floss to give her a quiet, thoughtful look.

Her eyes are antique bronze color czech glass beads securely stitched with cotton floss.

Victoria Scamperfoot is a loveably sweet bunny that would make a wonderful gift or treasure for your own collection. She comes with a card signed and dated by the Artist, and she’s individually made so you know you are getting a one-of-a-kind friend made especially for you.

Our bunnies are securely made, but contain small parts, so use your discretion when buying for the very young.
