A very shy and thoughtful bunny is looking for someone to love her.

Meet Victoria Scamperfoot! She’s an adorable little 8 inch button jointed bunny with real old fashioned appeal.

Victoria is made of our pretty and soft caramel cashmere/wool blend repurposed material (gently cleaned and cared for). She has whimsically striped cotton knit ear linings, and plum colored corduroy paw pads.

Victoria’s stuffed with our favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender and just enough steel bbs deep inside to make her pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling in your hand.

Victoria’s joints are accented with natural, unfinished, smooth wood buttons that add even more to her irresistable “yesterday” appearance.

Her little face is simply handstitched with cotton floss to give her a quiet, thoughtful look.

Her eyes are antique bronze color czech glass beads securely stitched with cotton floss.

Victoria Scamperfoot is a loveably sweet bunny that would make a wonderful gift or treasure for your own collection. She comes with a card signed and dated by the Artist, and she’s individually made so you know you are getting a one-of-a-kind friend made especially for you.

Our bunnies are securely made, but contain small parts, so use your discretion when buying for the very young.

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

The Craggy Moor Store is being featured over at My Knitting Life and Other Stories today on her “Favorite Etsy Shop Friday”segment! We love this blog, and are so honored to be there today!! Nicole tells wonderful stories about her life, and the things she loves. 

Nicole gave us the chance to tell her readers a little bit about us, how and why we got started and what inspires us. We hope you stop by her blog and enjoy the interview.

Knitted for Ewe is Nicole’s Etsy shop and we love it too.  Nicole makes wonderful handmade knit softies, bags and other things.

 We first discovered her shop when we saw the listing for this lovely wristwarmer set with embroidered leaves.

Thank you again Nicole! And keep doing what you do!

We are really happy with the new sweater bear design we’ve developed here recently! We happened upon some really nice velvet, as well as a storehouse of lovely sweater materials, and these lovely fabrics really inspired us to try and make something extra cute.

So we had a “Teddy Bear Picnic”!! lol!

Our first new design sweater bear was ”Bartley Bearhardt”. He’s made of a wonderfully soft black angora sweater material. He was adopted by the wonderful nuns at a Convent in Massachusetts. (They’ve also given many of our Waldorf softies a good home there too-thank you so much!!!)

The next bear to come along was Barnaby Barnes. He went right away to a good home in Alaska (bears love Alaska!).

Galvin is travelling to his faraway Amsterdam home! (more to come about him on a later post!)

Alfie Bearington travelled to live in Collegeville Pa.

His little cousin Abel went to live in Nebraska.

Polly Pendleton went over the ocean to live in Nottingham England.

We are so happy that all our sweater bears quickly found good homes!  A big Thank you to everyone who adopted them!

There are more sweet bears in the works along with more lambs and bunnies too! Check back often!

Anna over at For the Love of Cute is featuring The Craggy Moor Store today as her pick for this week’s “Feature Friday”!!

Feature Friday – The Craggy Moor Store

We are very honored Anna! Thank you so much! We are also blessed by the wonderful comments being left. It means so much to us to hear from you.

  Go on over to For the Love of Cute and subscribe to their feed today so you can get a daily dose of cuteness too. I love how Anna sends along a list everyday of samples from some of the most wonderful handmade items. There are some truly talented folks out there!

Alfie Bearington stopped by for one of our almost famous Teddy Bear picnics and with no real home of his own, asked if we could find him one.

And we said of course!

Alfie is a sweet 9 inch tall sweater bear cub with a very playful heart. He’s made of a very pleasant oatmeal colored wool sweater material (repurposed, gently cleaned here on the Moor)and accented with soft chocolate brown velvet.

Alfie’s little nose and sweet smile are handstitched with 6 strand cotton floss, and his eyes shine with a lovely antique brass color. They are made of czech glass beads securely hand sewn.

Alfie’s stuffed with our favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of lavender, and a few bb’s in his tummy and feet to make him feel slightly heavy, and “real” when you hold him.

Alfie’s arms and legs are jointed and accented with charming lightly finished beveled wood buttons that add the whimsy and folk art charm we’ve come to adore.

Alfie has his favorite letter fashioned in wood around his neck on a leather cord.

Alfie would make a very special gift for someone you love or the perfect addition to your own collection. He contains small parts and is not suitable for children under the age of 12.

Alfie is individually made and has his very own sweet look. He will come in a Craggy Moor cotton gift bag with a card signed and dated by the Artist!

He also comes ready to give lots of bear hugs :0)

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

Meet Baa!

Baa is full of fun and love and just waiting to go on adventures with a special little person!

Baa is a wonderfully soft Waldorf style Lamb made from a super soft evergreen and brown wool sweater (repurposed, gently cared for here on the Moor).

He has a sweet little handstitched cotton face with the simple, open expression we love in a Waldorf style treasure. He will naturally reflect whatever emotion your child wants to imagine. (That’s the amazing and wonderful thing about Waldorf Friends!)

He has a little red flannel handstitched heart too!

Baa’s ears are lined with an old fashioned green cotton plaid that coordinates nicely with his cute and floppy green ears.

Look closely! We love Baa’s color block angled line between his green and chocolate brown!

Baa’s stuffed with the Craggy Moor’s favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender for a comforting scent and just a few double washed pebbles deep inside his stuffing to make him feel slightly heavy and “real” feeling in your hand.

Baa is 10 inches tall from head to hoof, just the right size to tuck into a diaper bag, or into little arms at bedtime; and just the right size to tag along on any car ride or adventure.

Baa is all natural and completely child friendly! He would make a wonderfully unique baby shower gift too. Baa comes with a card signed and dated by the Artist and can also include a note from you if you’d like!

But best of all, Ba would love to come home with you and be a best friend to your little one.

Thank you for taking a peek at our newest little lamb!

This lamb can be found in old fashioned nurseries, talking to the old saw horse, or whispering to his little child friend that it will be alright-there’s nothing to be afraid of in the dark.

Meet Alisdair Woolen-a charming wool and cotton lamb with a real yesterday appeal.

He’s 6 inches tall sitting, with 4 1/2 inch long legs.
Alisdair’s made from misty blue wool sweater material with a lovely cable knit pattern. His hooves, muzzle, tail and ear linings are oxford cotton with a sweet coordinating blue and white storybook stripe.

Alisdair’s sweet smile and nose were hand stitched. His eyes shine brightly with an antique bronze hue, and are made of czech glass beads.

Alisdair’s stuffed with 100% brand new wool batting, just enough dry lavender to give him the best of calming scents, and he has a few pebbles deep inside his stuffing to make him feel pleasingly “real”.

Alisdair has jointed legs fastened securely with 6 strand cotton floss, and sweetly simple unfinished wood buttons that just further add to his days-gone-by appeal.

Alisdair is a reminder of all the things we loved as children, the comforting friends, the warm blankets and the bedtime stories we had to hear with those friends.

Alisdair is made with much love JUST FOR YOU!

He has little parts so may be unsuitable for small children.

We hope Alisdair is just the friend you’re looking for to add to your treasures, or as a gift for someone you love.

Handmade is the BEST way to say I love you!

We’ve brought together our softest and most special fabrics to make a truly sweet and loveable bunny JUST FOR YOU!!

Meet Glennette Harefoot!

Glennette is gaelic for “valley in the mountains”-a misty place where many bunnies are born and like to hide :0)

Glennette is made of a super soft repurposed caramel colored cashmere that is a real treat to touch and hold!

(All our repurposed materials are all natural and gently inspected and cared for before using)

Glennette is completely hand sewn with much love and care from the tips of her cute little bunny ears to the tips of her slightly oversized bunny feet. Showing here and there are whimsically placed stitches to give her an old fashioned homespun look. Glennette has button jointed limbs with natural, unfinished smooth wood buttons, and a sweet metal charm around her neck fastened with a peach satin ribbon.

 She has a handstitched pink cotton nose and tiger eye glass bead eyes that complete her lovely “days gone by” appearance. Her eyes have dark amber shades of brown that complement her cashmere fur very nicely.

Glennette’s paw pads are a lovely dark chocolate brown wool with tiny interwoven fibers of caramel colored wool. Her ears are lined with a creamy acetate to give them a satiny look.

(Did you know that acetate is a natural fiber? Acetate is wood pulp treated with a vinegar to make it soft and supple like satin!)

Glennette was stuffed with our favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender and just enough double washed pebbles in her bottom and feet to make her pleasingly heavy in your hand, and make her feel “real”.

Glennette contains small parts and may not be suitable for children under the age of 12. She is a treat JUST FOR YOU to love and cherish in your own special collection, or give as a gift to someone you love!

Glennette will come with a card signed and dated by the Artist. She’s individually made and has her own sweet look. She is truely a one of a kind treat.

Teddy Bear picnics are pretty common here on the Craggy Moor when the weather is just right and the lavender is blooming!

One such Ted to visit asked if we could find her a good home. Of course we said yes!

This sweet little brown cashmere bear is Emma Bearington. She’s an extra special JUST FOR YOU bear too! Emma is made of some of the softest cashmere we’ve found yet, in a lovely caramel color just right for a brown bear. She’s accented with dark chocolate brown wool that has subtle interwoven fibers of honey colored brown.

Emma’s the perfect fit-in-your-hand size treasure, measuring about 6 1/2 inches. She’d love to sit by your computer,in your favorite reading spot. Do you have a favorite doll that you display who needs a friend? Emma would love to sit in his or her arms!

Emma has a wonderful old world appeal- lovely crested metal buttons at her joints, and sweetly shining deep grey hematite eyes. She also has a cute little wooden honey bee charm hanging around her neck. (what bear doesn’t just LOVE honey?)
Emma’s little nose and mouth were handstitched with 6 strand cotton floss and much love.

Emma is stuffed with 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender, and a few bits of double washed pea gravel in her tummy and feet to make her pleasingly heavy in your hand.

Emma is one of those loving little bears that would make a wonderful JUST FOR YOU gift for someone you love. Send her as a thinking of you gift, or brighten up your own day with a special little friend.

Emma is individually hand made and has her own unique look, as do all our Craggy Moor Friends! She’s a wonderful, classic, folk art addition to a unique bear collection! Emma will come with a card signed and dated by the Artist too!
