On the Moor

Alyssa and Albert just crept onto the Moor this afternoon. Come meet them at our Etsy Store!

Desmond and Alena Meadowmouse have two precious velvet mouse children named Eefa and Connelly.  They heard about the wonderful homes Beag and the Brogan Mouse Boys found. It wasn’t long before we heard another knock at our door, and met another wonderfully soft patchwork mouse family!

Desmond

Alena

Connelly

and

Eefa

Are made of soft cotton velvet in a lovely medium grey. They have patchwork ears, and adorable reversible pointed meadow caps.

Each mouse is button jointed with natural hardwood buttons. We weight each mouse too, so they feel delightfully “real” in your hand.

They make wonderfully charming gifts, and even better friends for you! We just love these little mouse friends, and hope you do too. Come on over to our Etsy Store, and meet them.

We acquired some beautiful and soft grey cotton velveteen and just had to use it to make some friends over the weekend. I coudn’t decide which to do- bunny or mouse, so I did both! I really love how it feels, as well as the ease with which it sews!

Meet our new friends-up for adoption over at our Etsy Store:

This is Ashley Flowerseed! She’s a 6 1/2 inch tall wood button jointed mousie wearing her favorite white woodland cap. She has pretty pink and grey cotton patchwork in her ears and on her paws.

****************UPDATE: Ashley found a good home! Thank you so much!!*********************

And this is Parsley Bunting! He’s also 6 1/2 inches tall, and he’s wearing his country blue cotton overalls. He also has cotton patchwork accenting his long bunny ears, and his sweet bunny paws, in a pretty sage green, cream and grey cotton plaid.

Come meet our sweet new friends today!

Kerry Pendleton is a sweet grey wool teddy bear with big jug handle ears perfect for listening and keeping secrets!

Kerry is a very special bear, because the Pendleton Woolen Mills have closed here over the last few years, and he’s made from a soft wool/cashmere blend blazer from a Pendleton Woolen Mill. We love this wool for bear making and

sewed the old fashioned embroidered Pendleton tag to Kerry as a loving tribute to their beautiful wool.

Kerry Pendleton is 10 inches tall from head to toe, 7 inches sitting. He has button joints decorated with a lovely shell button on each limb.

Kerry’s firmly stuffed with high loft, premium quality polyfil, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s deep within his stuffing to make him quite pleasingly heavy, and “real” feeling.

Kerry has suede paw pads, and a sweet handstitched black cotton nose and mouth. His eyes are beautiful, shining hematite beads. Kerry has purposefully exposed stitching to add to his old fashioned appearance and “out of grandma’s cedar chest” appeal.

Kerry is individually and lovingly made, like all the bears here on the Moor. He would make a wonderful gift for someone you love, or add him to your own collection of treasured bear friends!

Kerry will come with a card dated and signed by the Artist too!

Handmade is the very best way to say I love you!

*Kerry Pendleton is securely sewn, but due to small parts, please use your discretion when buying for the very young.*

Hoppy and floppy, huggable and loveable, ready to tuck into bed, or go on adventures, Meet Christopher Rabbit!

He’s an adorable addition to the waldorf warren here on the Craggy Moor!

Christopher is 12 inches tall from head to foot. He’s made of thick, soft and smooth slate grey wool/cashmere blend material (repurposed and gently cared for here on the moor). There are hints of darker grey mixed into the slate that make the wool so appealing and fur like in its coloring.

He has wonderful “peek-a-boo” 6 1/2 inch over sized ears just right for holding onto and snuggling, or hiding his cute face for a fun game. He has charming “summer cherry” plaid cotton ear linings that coordinate very nicely with his fur.

His white cotton knit face is handstitched with cotton floss and much love. He even has a sweet, handstitched red flannel heart to match his ears.

Christopher Rabbit is stuffed with the Craggy Moor’s favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender (for snuggling and soothing) and just enough double washed pebbles deep within his tummy to add a pleasing heaviness and “real” feeling to him that little ones enjoy.

Christopher is completely child friendly, and he’s ready to be a new friend to a little one you love.

Hopping through the woods, on her way to her Grandma’s house comes little Millicent Hareford. Wearing her little hooded cape to keep her warm, she knows just the way to go!

Millicent Hareford is our newest slate grey wool bunny. She’s an extra special treasure because we’ve added soft and beautiful wheat colored suede to her paws, and the linings of her ears and tail.

She’s also wearing a little hand knit,removable hooded cape made from raspberry colored mohair and secured with a black and silver metal clasp. She looks just like a little girl ready to make the familiar journey to her much loved Grandmother.

Millicent’s stuffed with our favorite Craggy Moor stuffing:
100% brand new wool batting, a touch of lavender, and just enough steel bb’s deep within her tummy and feet to give her that slightly heavy, pleasingly “real” feel we love.

Millicent’s little face is handstitched with black cotton floss, and her sweet shining eyes are antique bronze color czech glass beads.

She has button jointed limbs adorned with whimsically mismatched silver metal buttons that further add to her folk art charm.

Do you love bunnies or want to give someone special a unique and handmade treasure? Millicent is individually hand made with much love, and like all our bunnies here on the Moor, has a precious look that is all her own.

She’s full of folk art appeal, and reminiscent of those old stories we all remember and tell to our own children.

Millicent Hareford would love to be a friend to someone you love.

Handmade is the very best way to say I love you!

Thank you for visiting!
(Millicent has a few small parts that have been securely sewn so use your own discretion when buying for the very young. Millicent Hareford is a collectible and not made for rough play.)

This is Ainsley! The name Ainsley is gaelic for “in the woods”. This name really fits a bunny well doesn’t it?

Ainsley snuck onto the Craggy Moor this morning and is looking for someone special to love!

Ainsley is a waldorf style slate grey wool bunny with a charming blue and green plaid cotton lining his ears. He’s made from a lovely repurposed slate grey wool skirt, and cotton flannel pajama top. (all gently cared for here on the Moor).

 He’s so soft and huggable! He smells lightly and sweetly of lavender too. He has a little cranberry wool felt heart that further adds to his whimsy and folk art charm.

Ainsley is stuffed with the Craggy Moor’s favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough dry, inert lentils to give him more of a “real” feel.

Ainsley has a sweet little cotton face hand stitched with cotton floss. He has the cutest freckles around his nose and just a bit of a blush.
He also has a real cotton tail made of cotton yarn. So sweet!

Ainsley has a sweet open face characteristic of Waldorf Style toys. Children and the young at heart will love having him as a gift, or adopt him for yourself and add him to your folk art collection!

Ainsley is individually handmade and comes with a signed dated card by the artist.

Handmade is the most heartfelt way to say “I love you”!
