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

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!

Meet Olivia Flowerseed and Oliver Fieldmouse!

They are available on the Moor today!

We are busy busy busy with some wonderful custom orders that have come in too-and if you’ve placed an order for a sweet mouse or bunny recently, they are in production and we will be contacting you soon with pics. In the meantime, we’ve placed a few up for adoption that were born a few weeks ago. 

Olivia and Oliver are very excited to meet you! They are at our Etsy Store. Drop by and say hi!

Bearlydressed 

on Etsy is offering clothes to fit our mice! Stop by and see all the cute clothes they make for mice,bunnies and bears of various sizes.

Missy is modeling the adorable sun dress and french scarf now available!

We know, its been quiet over on our Etsy store. We wanted to share with you what we’ve been up to!

The first order to come in was a for a cute pair of mice who went to live in far away Malaysia.

The second order to come in was for a trio of mousie friends who will go to live in Australia.

 They are some of the first mice to wear the new patterns we’ve been working on for overalls,jumpers, and hooded sweaters!

It’s time to get back to the day, but we wanted to give you a quick update. There are two custom order puppies just finished; and more cute friends in the works too, almost ready to introduce to you, as well as custom orders in the works!  We are so excited to be so busy! Check back often because we’ll have more pics coming soon!

Greg and Reg our Raggy Rat Bros. are here!

We were so surprised when our package arrived on Tuesday!

We had hardly opened the package when they popped right out!

We showed them around, and introduced them.

They jumped right into our routine, and helped with school! Greg helped with handwriting

Reggie helped with math.

“Ooooh Greg, what’s that place?”

“It’s Under the Couch Reg….a dark and mysterious place….”

Greg and Reg took their seats and shared some pizza for dinner

And made so many new mousie friends! Before they all go, we wanted to get a pic!

Greg and Reg are constantly running here and there, playing with the children, and having so much fun. We think they’ll fit right in.

Thanks again Cat! They are just precious.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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