Loving Our Tiny New Mice!

Posted in hand made, other animal friends | No Comments »

So we were sitting around one Sunday evening and got to thinking “hey, I wonder if we can make a tiny mouse with joints like the bears?” (what else would we be thinking about on a Sunday evening? lol)

We did some planning, and some more thinking and a bit more planning, some trials, and little Joshua Robert was born-

Joshua Robert now lives here on the Moor. (Named by our 3 year old daughter-she comes up the the cutest names!) As soon as I made him I loved him so much! He fit right into the palm of my hand. We were so happy with Joshua Robert that we made a few more! Oh, and I made Joshua Robert my new personal assistant.

All calls will be directed to him. :)

Meet Maxwell, Fiona! Max and Fi found homes yesterday, as the first of our brand new line of 4 inch, 5 way jointed velveteen mousies.

I’m serious, these little mice are so nice to hold in hand. I’m so happy with the design. The velveteen makes them so soft,(and a bit furry feeling) and the bit of weight their joints give them feels very much like the weight of a real  mouse.

Our mice are normally 8 inches tall, but these new sweethearts are just a bit over 4 inches.

We’ve been working hard on a set of joints small enough to make our small animals poseable like our larger animals are. We finally came up with a nice, reliable design.

We will be adding these little mice into our regular inventory, and custom orders are always welcome. Visit the Moor often, have your proverbial net handy and catch one for yourself! Be quick though, little mice skitter away  fast!

Rabbity guest blogging again! How are you?

I’m sure you’re wondering what we’re up to today. Well, I’ll show you! :)

We are busy creating a set of mouse and bear siblings for a family. Two bears and two mice are halfway done, so I can’t show you any pics yet, but here are some charming color swatches:

The center is the color of the girl white mice we are working on today. The colors on the outside are some of the accents for ears,paws,clothes.

These boucle’s are the beginings of beautiful bears. The milk chocolate boucle on the right has been cut into two girl bears this week, and one is ready to joint! We can’t wait to show you some more pics-hopefully at the end of the week!

In the meantime, I’m just going to sit right here and watch. It’s important to have a good supervisor you know :)

Posted in other animal friends | No Comments »

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

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.

New Grey Velveteen Friends on the Moor

Posted in bunnies, hand made, other animal friends | No Comments »

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!

Missy Fieldmouse

Missy Fieldmouse is quiet and small
She doesn’t make much noise at all.
She put on her hat, all fleecy and warm,
To meet her friend in the snowy white storm.

Missy Fieldmouse2

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.

Missy Fieldmouse4

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.

Missy Fieldmouse3

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).
Missy Fieldmouse5
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.

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 collectible mousies like Missy a gift both unique and handmade something we’d love to give, and responsible too!

Lotty

Lotty is a sweet little mousie who just loves to snuggle!

She’s a pretty patchwork mouse about 7 1/2 inches tall with 3 1/2 inch sweet and floppy ears. She’s just the right size for little hands. Her ears, tail,and little limbs are wonderful for early grasping.
Lotty3

Lotty is made of a super soft wheat colored cotton velvet. She has pretty pink plaid cotton accents, to include a cute little knotted mouse tail.
Lotty2
Lotty has adorable handstitched cotton eyes, nose and smile. She also has a pretty little handstitched apple red wool heart full of love.

Lotty’s stuffing is weighted with double washed pebbles sewn securely into a muslin pouch in her tummy. This makes her slightly and very pleasingly heavy, and irresistible for little hands to hold and hug.

Lotty5

Lotty is completely child friendly, and would be the perfect friend for even the tiniest little one. Lotty would love to keep her little friend company at naptime, and she loves to jump into the diaper bag for on the go adventure and fun.

Lotty4

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