On the Moor

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

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!

Wilson Bearson stared out the window longingly. The cold winter wind had blown away the dusting of snow from the previous day. The pretty icy powder had retreated once more to dry green grasses. He sat back down to polish the runners of his little wooden sled. “It’s ok,” I told him, “The winter will come.” I pushed a tiny steaming cup his way. “Have a sip of cocoa….”

Wilson Bearson is a soft and beautiful chocolate brown velvet bear made from a wonderfully classic, vintage inspired pattern. He’s 11 inches tall (7 inches sitting).

Wilson’s accents are a classic cherry red flannel plaid, perfect because he loves the winter and loves to snuggle!

Wilson is stuffed with wool, and weighted to make him pleasingly heavy when held and hugged. Wilson is button jointed with lovely, vintage wood toggle buttons with a pretty basket weave texture and matching chocolate brown color.
Wilson’s sweet nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss. His eyes are beautiful amber glass safety eyes.

Wilson loves to wear his soft, cream colored merino wool hat decorated with rustic, old fashioned jingle bell.

Wilson Bearson is one of a kind and individually made. He would make a wonderful gift for someone you love who loves handmade bears, or add him to your own treasures.

Wilson is made with much love, and is safe for anyone over the age of 3 (due to small parts).

Teddy bears are wonderful friends, so even if your little one is very small, Wilson would love to sit on a shelf in their room as a decoration until they get old enough to play.

Wilson Bearson 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”!
Thank you for visiting!

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!

Thank you for visiting!
