Meet Etta! She’s a beautiful pink cable knit bear with suede accents. She was commissioned by a customer for a family member’s birthday. Our customer picked out the material and sent it to us to use to make this very special bear. This is the first time we’ve done this and we just loved the personal touch it added!
Etta is floppy, huggy, pretty and sweet. We hope she has many happy days with her new friend.
We have some exciting new projects we just finished that we are so eager to share with you!
We’ve been wanting to make an extra special hedgehog toy for children and finally developed a pattern with a pocket so the hedgehog can roll into a ball!
We made this set of hedgies out of the softest wool/angora blend we could find, and felted the “quills” for texture variation.
Not only is this hedgie a fun toy to roll into a ball, he is fun to toss too! He is just 8 inches tall, but he’s about 10 inches around-simply adorable and huggy, weighted just a little to make him feel slightly heavy, real feeling, and irresistible to hold.

Mom Tracy started a new blog too, so he can share his adventures
Barnaby in Michigan!
We are just LOVING that our bears talk to each other a little too. Barnaby and Mabel keep in touch by blog as well.
Thank you so much Tracy!! And we love you Barnaby! We just know you will be much loved in your new home. See you around the web!

Benny Bear ate all his peanut butter waffles (with syrup also please) and dashed out to the swing set this morning to have some fun. He loves adventure, sweet treats, and most of all- hugs! But hold him tight when he rides the swings with you-he’s a little afraid of heights!
Benny is a super soft, incredibly huggable waldorf style black bear cub. He’s 9 inches tall sitting, 12 ½ inches tall from head to toe. He’s made from repurposed (gently cared for here on the Moor) charcoal colored wool sweater material. It has just a touch of angora, just enough to make him irresistible to cuddle! Benny’s paw and ear linings and muzzle are made of equally soft and loveable chocolate brown cotton knit.
Benny is stuffed with soft, lofty, premium quality hypoallergenic polyester fiberfill so he can be washed in the washer ( tie him in a pillow case, wash in cool water, short wash, fluff to dry). He also has a few double washed pebbles deep within his tummy stuffing to make him pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling.
Benny’s sweet face is hand stitched with black cotton floss and much love. He’s completely child friendly, and ready to be the best friend to even the littlest one.
Benny also has a cute little cranberry colored flannel heart hand stitched on his tummy to add even more to his folk art charm.
Benny would make a lovely, unique, handmade gift for someone you love, or make him the newest friend for your little one!
Benny is individually made like all the sweet bear friends here on the Moor, and will come with a card dated and signed by the Artist.
Handmade is the very best way to say I love you!
Meet Chickory Thistledown! He’s sweet and soft, and the very first Cotter Pin Collectible for sale here on the Craggy Moor!
Chickory is named after the beautiful delicate blue flowers blooming on the Moor right now. He’s 10 1/2 inches tall from head to toe, with about 4 inch ears. He’s made of soft and loveable blue cotton velvet and vintage inspired blue cotton plaid to line his ears and paws.
Our old fashioned cotter pin joints are made of sturdy 1/8 inch thick wood disks, steel cotter pins, and zinc washers.
They make his arms and legs swing and flop slightly, just like those much loved stuffed animals you might find in Grandma’s old cedar chest.
Chickory has a sweet little hand stitched black cotton nose and smile. His eyes are lovely jet shell beads with subtle ribbons of black, blue and smokey grey.
Chickory’s stuffed with the Craggy Moor’s favorite stuffing: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender, and a few steel bb’s deep within his tummy and feet to make him slightly heavy, and pleasingly “real” feeling.
Chickory would make an extra special, all natural, collectible gift for someone you know, or add him to your own collection!
Chickory Thistledown is individually made and comes with his own card dated and signed by the Artist.
Keep watching for Chickory’s sister Primrose, coming soon!
Handmade is the very best way to say “I love you”!
Thank you so much for visiting!
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!
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”!!
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!
