On the Moor

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!

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.

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.

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).

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.

Just the gentlest of rustles disturbs the blackberry bushes as Gracie finds her breakfast. The sun rises, and the air is cool.

Gracie Bearington wandered onto the Craggy Moor and asked us to find her a home!

Gracie is an adorable brown wool bear made from a wool we really love. It’s wonderfully “fur like”, smooth with interwoven fibers of chocolate and caramel brown. Her muzzle, ear linings and paw pads are a soft and beautiful caramel suede.

Gracie has lovely crested metal buttons at her joints that coordinate so nicely and give her a pleasing old fashioned look.

Gracie’s eyes are sweetly shining black glass beads, and her cute nose and smile are hand stitched with black cotton floss.

Gracie is stuffed with our favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s to give her a nice heft and a “real” feel.

Gracie’s about 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.

Gracie is a collectible, and due to small parts is not intended for small children. 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.

Gracie will come with a card dated and signed by the Artist.
