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. 
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 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 heard a rustling in the pantry early this morning, and the soft tink, tink of glass jars shifting. I peaked around the corner to find a velvet bear helping herself to the honey! A sheepish (or should I say bearish) grin, and two bright eyes shone back at me-Mabel Bearington had come to pay us a visit!
Mabel is an adorable, huggably soft, chocolate brown velvet bear. Her muzzle, ear linings and paw pads are a soft and beautiful caramel suede.
Mabel has lovely crested metal buttons at her joints that coordinate so nicely and give her a pleasing old fashioned look.
Mabel’s eyes are sweetly shining amber glass safety eyes, and her cute nose and smile are hand stitched with black cotton floss.
Mabel is stuffed with 100% brand new hypoallergenic,premium high loft polyfil, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s to give her a nice heft and a “real” feel.
Mabel’s 10 inches tall from head to foot, 7 inches sitting. She has a really nice firm, slightly heavy feel that will make you want to hug and hold her!
Mabel is a collectible, securely sewn, but has small parts so use your own discretion when buying for the very young.
She would make a wonderful, unique gift for someone you know, or add her to your own den of collectible bears. All our bears are individually made and one of a kind. Each one has their own sweet look.
Mabel will come with a card dated and signed by the Artist.
Handmade is the very best way to say “I love you”!
Thank you for visiting!
Another sweet bear has crept onto the Craggy Moor!
And he’s a very well mannered, fun loving bear. He sips his tea, uses his napkin and says please and thank you quite nicely. He’s an avid reader and a very accomplished conversationalist as well. Milton’s interested in learning more about almost any subject. He’s a sturdy bear ready for any adventure or similar type of fun too.
Milton Bearstein is 9 1/2 inches tall standing, about 7 inches tall sitting. He’s made from a wonderfully vintage cotton corduroy type fabric, but without the lines that corduroy normally has. It has a sturdy feel, and soft nap with a caramel color that is so reminiscent of the old days. His ears and paws are lined with a delightfully old fashioned faded looking, green, cream and navy plaid cotton that compliments his fur quite nicely.
Milton’s limbs are jointed and secured with black cotton floss and real hand made scrabble tile buttons! They are just adorable, and add even more to his whimsical “days gone by” appeal.
Milton’s little nose is hand stitched black cotton floss, and his sweetly shining eyes are antique bronze colored czech glass beads.
Milton was stuffed with the Craggy Moor’s favorite stuffing: 100% wool batting, a touch of lavender, and just enough steel bb’s in his little pot belly tummy and feet to make him slightly and pleasingly heavy in the hand.
Milton is sure to be a loveable and unique folk art bear perfect for a gift or your own collection.
