Meet Ellie Bearsley! She’s our newest 9 inch bear, full of handmade sweetness.

A few things that make Ellie special:

She’s 5 way cotter pin jointed with our own extra strong cotter pins and hardwood disks. She’s made of a lovely brushed wool in our favorite caramel brown.

Ellie is wearing her favorite handknit pastel verigated cotton overalls accented with natural hardwood buttons. 

We thought we’d have some fun and put Ellie on Ebay!  Here’s her link if you’d like to visit her, find out more about her, and put in a bid!

There’s a Hedgie on the Moor!

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

Bramble Thistlebatch

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 Thistlebatch looks onto the Moor

Bramble is 6 inches tall, 4 1/2 inches sitting. He’s made of heather grey wool, with wheat colored velvet paw pads.

Bramble Thistlebatch3

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)

Bramble Thistlebatch2

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!

This cute little Sooty lamb is the first of a line of new lambs to be born soon here on the Moor! I posted pics of Sooty on flickr to see how folks liked her.

sooty5

 

 Our friend Cat over at The Raggy Rat ... contacted me and just loved Sooty. I asked Sooty if she’d like to go live with Cat in far away U.K. and she said that sounded like a wonderful adventure!

I’ve loved Cat’s Raggy’s for a long time. Her sweeties were some of the first I visited when we  started our flickr account. I just love her little standing Ratties! They are full of personality, sweet and absolutely adorable. Cat has pet rats, and I can tell how much she loves them by the care and tenderness she puts into the expression of each little one she makes.

So….when Cat asked about a trade, I said “YES!!” right away! I love natural colors, and she made one grey, and one brown.

Reginald and Gregory Raggy Rat 

Here they are! Cat took a pic of Gregory and Reginald Raggy Rat. They are making the long trek across the water to us this week. We can’t wait to meet them in person. The children say Reggie looks like Remmie from Ratatouille so we also hope he loves to cook :)

So, we say a fond goodbye to Sooty, and get ready for Sooty’s sisters and brother lambs to be born soon. And we eagerly await our little box full of Greggie and Reggie!

More pics to come when they arrive and have a look around. :)

Hi I’m Spotty Barkington!

Spotty Barkington

Hi I’m Spotty Barkington!

Can I come live with you? I promise to be good, and not chase the cat too much. I’ll always be glad to see you at the end of the day! I’ll be your best friend and protector against things that go growl, er, bump in the night! I’m just the type of friend to play fetch whenever you want, and snuggle and share the biscuits. So, what do you say? :0)

I’ll tell you a little bit about me:
Spotty Barkington2
I’m 10 inches tall from ears to toes (6 inches sitting). I’m made of adorably nubbly black and white cotton knit sweater material. I have soft wheat colored suede paw pads and ear linings.

Spotty Barkington3

I’m button jointed with beautiful hardwood buttons that match my suede accents just right! My eyes are shiny cat’s eye stone beads. My cute little nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss, and so are my paws!

Spotty Barkington5

My stuffing is weighted to make me feel slightly heavy, and “real” (aren’t I real? I thought I was real!). I have a touch of dry lavender in my stuffing too for added sweetness.

I also have a little leather “dog collar” with cute heart charm.
Spotty Barkington6
I’m one of a kind, made with much love, and would make a wonderful friend for anyone over the age of 3. I’d make a wonderful gift for someone you love, or add me to your own family! I come with a card dated and signed by the artist too!

Spotty Barkington4

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

Coney Meadowfoot knocked upon our door….

Posted in bunnies, hand made | No Comments »

Coney Meadowfoot2

Coney Meadowfoot darted across the Moor with Crazy Fox in quick persuit. Suddenly I heard a “Bambambam” on my front door and looked down to see Coney drumming frantically with a big bunny foot. I quickly let him in, and just in time too! Crazy Fox sneered in our direction and darted back into the wood. I comforted Coney with a cup of meadow tea and a crumpet.

Coney Meadowfoot
Coney Meadowfoot is full of old fashioned charm. He’s  a 9 inch tall, chocolate brown cable knit bunny. He has wonderfully long 5 inch ears. His ears have a pad of wool felt inside to make them stand up. You can also adjust them in different cute ways.

Coney Meadowfoot4
Coney is cotton, with folksy wheat flannel plaid accents detailed with tiny lines of chocolate and evergreen. He’s incredibly huggy and warm and soft. His little muzzle is soft wheat colored velvet.

Coney even has a real cottontail made of snowy white cotton yarn.

Coney Meadowfoot5

Coney’s stuffing is weighted to make him slightly heavy and “real” feeling when held. He’s button jointed with beautiful, natural hardwood buttons.

Coney’s pretty eyes are shining black cat’s eye beads with navy highlights. His sweet nose and smile are handstitched with cotton floss.
Coney Meadowfoot3
Coney would make a wonderful gift for anyone over the age of 3,or add him to a nursery for an adorable decoration! He said he’d be happy to wait patiently until his little friend is old enough to play. (as long as there are no foxes :0)

Coney would also love to come home and be your friend too! He’s individually made like all the sweet hares here on the Moor. He’ll come with a card dated and signed by the Artist.

Coney Meadowfoot 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!

Lentil is a small and quiet friend…

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

Lentil the Mouse4

Little Lentil is a soft brown cotton mousie! He gives a friendly smile, and a listening ear, and he loves to be held and hugged, and carried along on adventure.

Lentil the Mouse

Lentil is made of soft cotton knit and coordinating floral patchwork with pretty shades of mustard,sage,cranberry and rose. He has sweet handstitched eyes,nose and smile.

Lentil the Mouse2

Lentil also has a cute little handsewn cherry wool heart full of love, and a little patchwork tail with a knot at the end.

Lentil the Mouse5

He is completely child friendly, and has pleasing contrast in color and pattern, very interesting to babies.

Lentil’s stuffing is weighted with a few double washed pebbles securely sewn into a muslin pouch in his tummy to make him a little heavy, and pleasing for little hands to hold and carry.

Lentil the Mouse3

Lentil is waldorf style. We love the open simplicity and homespun nature of Waldorf creations. They inspire imaginative play, and their little faces reflect the emotion of the child playing with them.

Lentil loves to snuggle, and he’s the perfect quiet little friend to take along in the carseat or in the diaper bag.

Lentil is safe and hypoallergenic, and would cheer up an isolette too!

He’s about 7 1/2 inches tall.
