On the Moor

Jubal Westingbear fit right in. He colored a picture with the children and other bears this morning during school time. Then he ate all his peanut butter sandwich at lunch, even the crusts! He laughed at all the silly parts of the story at storytime, and curled right up and went to sleep on his mat at naptime.

He loves to wear his comfy cotton overalls and snuggle under the covers a little extra long in the morning, but just ask and he’ll help with anything he can around the house.

 Hide and seek is his favorite game and he’s so agreeable, he’ll even be the first to do the counting and seeking while you hide. What a nice, sweet bear to have around!

Jubal is 13 inches tall from head to foot (about 8 1/2 inches sitting). He’s made of a soft black wool and he has buttery soft, wheat colored suede accents.

Jubal’s pretty eyes are amber glass safety eyes. His sweet nose and smile are handstitched with black cotton floss.

Jubal’s stuffing is weighted so make him feel pleasingly heavy and “real” when you hold and hug him.

Jubal is 5 way cotter pin jointed with extra strong galvanized steel cotter pins we made right here on the Moor. His joints are 1/4 inch hardwood disks. He can pose in many cute ways.

Jubal is wearing a set of homespun comfy cotton plaid and flannel overalls with cris-cross straps and snaps at the shoulders.

Jubal would make a wonderful bear friend for anyone over the age of 3, or add him to a nursery as a beautiful decoration. He’ll wait patiently till his little friend gets old enough to play; He’d also love to just come home and be your friend!

Jubal is one of a kind, and individually made like all the sweet bears here on the Moor. He’s made with much love, and comes with a card dated and signed by the artist.

Jubal Westingbear 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!

Audrey Ann Woolbear dashed out into the crisp air to play. Her breath made little wispy clouds around her soft muzzle as she laughed and sang, playing hide and seek around the trunk of her favorite old oak tree. Her person laughed along with her, and silly songs rang through the frosty morning air…

Audrey Ann Woolbear is a sweet 5 way jointed bear standing at 13 inches (9 inches sitting). She is made of a beautiful caramel colored brushed wool. Her paws are lined with an equally lovely and soft evergreen suede.

Audrey’s joints are made with hardwood disks, and our own extra strong galvanized steel cotter pins. This type of jointing gives her an old fashioned look we just love so much. Audrey’s head turns, and her limbs are poseable in so many adorable ways.

Audrey is firmly stuffed, like old fashioned bears we remember. Her stuffing is weighted too, to give her a delightfully heavy, and “real” feeling when held and hugged.

Audrey’s sweet winter hat is made from a soft cotton repurposed sweater with a beautiful fair-isle inspired pattern on charcoal grey.

Audrey is dressable in any of your favorite doll clothes too! Clothes that fit a 12-16 inch doll would fit her nicely (styles vary, so the best way to know is to try them on her).

Audrey’s pretty eyes are amber glass safety eyes. Her sweet nose and mouth are handstitched with black cotton floss and much love.

Audrey would be a safe and loveable friend for anyone over the age of 3. She would also make a wonderfully whimsical, vintage inspired decoration for a little one’s nursery-ready and waiting for play days when her little friend gets older.

Audrey is one of a kind, and individually made, so she’s also the perfect addition to your own collection of special handmade bears too! She comes with a card dated and signed by the Artist.

Audrey Woolbear is handmade with much love for you or someone you love!

When I opened my eyes the whole world was new! First I saw the soft glowing light from the lamp on the dresser. Then, I felt soft hands turn me this way and that. Then a hug from a small child made me feel cozy and warm. I smelled the delicious smell of morning coffee brewing and heard my name for the first time. What will this wide world bring? I love it already!

Kinder Bearmingham is a wonderfully classic, 5 way cotter pin jointed teddy bear! Made of a beautiful caramel colored wool and perfect for dressing in your favorite outfit, and very sweetly poseable. Kinder’s head turns, and limbs hang and move in different natural ways. This type of wobble jointing technique makes Kinder floppy like a baby, but sturdy and able to go on all sorts of adventures.

Kinder is 11 1/2 inches tall from head to toe, 9 inches sitting.

Kinder has buttery soft, coordinating caramel suede paw pads.

Kinder’s sweet nose and smile are handstitched with black cotton floss. Kinder has lovely amber colored glass safety eyes.

Kinder’s stuffing is weighted with pebbles for a pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling when held.

Kinder’s joins are hardwood disks, with extra strong galvanized steel cotter pins we made right here on the Moor.

Kinder is one of a kind, individually made, and perfect for young and old alike. Kinder is a neutral bear, ready to be dressed as a girl or a boy.

Do you love making doll clothes? Kinder is the perfect bear for you to add to your collection, or give as a gift with your own personal touch!

Kinder will come lovingly packaged with a card dated and signed by the artist.

We use natural fiber, new and repurposed materials that we gently care for here on the Moor. Our desire is to make adorable bears like Patton a gift that’s unique and handmade, and something we’d love to give, and responsible too!

Does anyone need a high spirited, incredibly loveable teddy bear with an incredible penchant for chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream? Grabel tries to be good, but we keep catching him in the freezer…he says its just because he likes the cold, but we know better!

Grabel Bainbridge is a wonderfully floppy polar teddy bear. He’s 10 inches tall, 6 inches sitting. He is made of a beautiful white and black cotton fleck repurposed sweater material that really gives him softness and personality. He has a buttery soft wheat colored suede muzzle, and lovely coordinating navy plaid cotton lining his paws and ears.

Grabel is button jointed with lovely, unfinished blonde wood buttons that match his muzzle nicely. His sweet nose and smile are handstitched with black cotton floss.

Grabel has shining navy blue cat’s eye bead eyes. We love the unique “moving” glint of a cat’s eye bead!

He has a velvet ribbon collar with a sweet little heartshaped swing tag that reads “handmade with love”.

Grabel’s stuffing is weighted to give him a delightful slightly heavy, “real” feel when held.

Grabel is so huggable, and he loves to pose in so many cute ways (he really is a ham when you get the camera out!)

He is wonderfully unique, individually made and one of a kind (all our bears here on the Moor have their own sweet look!). Grabel Bainbridge comes with a card with his birthday and artist signature. He would be perfect as a gift, or add him to your own snuggle of treasured friends.

Grabel is securely made with new and repurposed, hypoallergenic and natural materials, all gently cared for here on the Moor. He does have small parts, so please use your discretion when buying for the very young.

Our sweet Betsy Bearhardt went to her new home in San Diego, and her family of new bear friends (with the help of their Mama Molly) did a blog of her first outing! We are so honored and happy to see a story about one of our sweet bears:

Molly is such a wonderful lady, and someone I’ve really enjoyed getting to know. Thanks so much Molly for including Betsy in your family of bears. I hope she has a wonderful long life with her new family!

Benjamin Bennington Woolbear might be a young cub, but he’s full of ideas and innovations! He thinks of all kinds of helpful and thoughtful things. For instance, he shared with me that it’s always good to use a straw when the cup of milk is too big for little hands. He quietly suggests holding onto the bannister when the stairs are too tall to span with little legs. He also thinks its very wise to finish one’s green beans because dessert always follows close behind. Benjamin must go to a very special person who just needs a quiet, soft and practical sort of bear, for that is just the way he is.

Benjamin Bennington Woolbear is 9 1/2 inches tall (6 1/2 inches sitting)

He’s made of wonderfully soft, repurposed cashmere/wool blend material.

He has lovely caramel colored suede accents.

He has a touch of dry lavender in his tummy for added sweetness.

He is also weighted with steel bbs deep within the stuffing of his tummy and feet to make him pleasingly heavy and “real” feeling when held and hugged.

He has button joints with beautiful, vintage metal buttons, whimsically mismatched to give him a unique and folksy appearance.

Benjamin’s sweet nose and smile are handstitched with black cotton floss.

Benjamin’s eyes are lovely amber tiger eye glass beads, and both his eyes and his joints are securely string tied.

Benjamin would make an endearing gift for someone you love, or add this sweet little bear to your own snuggle of extra special bear friends.

Benjamin Bennington Woolbear is individually made and has his own sweet look. He comes with a card dated and signed by the artist too.

We heard a rustling in the pantry early this morning, and the soft tink, tink of glass jars shifting. I peaked around the corner to find a velvet bear helping herself to the honey! A sheepish (or should I say bearish) grin, and two bright eyes shone back at me-Mabel Bearington had come to pay us a visit!

Mabel is an adorable, huggably soft, chocolate brown velvet bear. Her muzzle, ear linings and paw pads are a soft and beautiful caramel suede.

Mabel has lovely crested metal buttons at her joints that coordinate so nicely and give her a pleasing old fashioned look.

Mabel’s eyes are sweetly shining amber glass safety eyes, and her cute nose and smile are hand stitched with black cotton floss.

Mabel is stuffed with 100% brand new hypoallergenic,premium high loft polyfil, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s to give her a nice heft and a “real” feel.

Mabel’s 10 inches tall from head to foot, 7 inches sitting. She has a really nice firm, slightly heavy feel that will make you want to hug and hold her!

Mabel is a collectible, securely sewn, but has small parts so use your own discretion when buying for the very young.

She would make a wonderful, unique gift for someone you know, or add her to your own den of collectible bears. All our bears are individually made and one of a kind. Each one has their own sweet look.

Mabel will come with a card dated and signed by the Artist.

Kerry Pendleton is a sweet grey wool teddy bear with big jug handle ears perfect for listening and keeping secrets!

Kerry is a very special bear, because the Pendleton Woolen Mills have closed here over the last few years, and he’s made from a soft wool/cashmere blend blazer from a Pendleton Woolen Mill. We love this wool for bear making and

sewed the old fashioned embroidered Pendleton tag to Kerry as a loving tribute to their beautiful wool.

Kerry Pendleton is 10 inches tall from head to toe, 7 inches sitting. He has button joints decorated with a lovely shell button on each limb.

Kerry’s firmly stuffed with high loft, premium quality polyfil, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s deep within his stuffing to make him quite pleasingly heavy, and “real” feeling.

Kerry has suede paw pads, and a sweet handstitched black cotton nose and mouth. His eyes are beautiful, shining hematite beads. Kerry has purposefully exposed stitching to add to his old fashioned appearance and “out of grandma’s cedar chest” appeal.

Kerry is individually and lovingly made, like all the bears here on the Moor. He would make a wonderful gift for someone you love, or add him to your own collection of treasured bear friends!

Kerry will come with a card dated and signed by the Artist too!

Barclay Bainbridge wandered onto the Moor early this morning, drawn by the soft scent of scones floating on the air. How could we resist such a sweet face? He ate his fill, folded his napkin in quite the gentlemanly way, and thanked us quite amiably. He has wonderful personality and so many stories to tell! He had one favor to ask- you see, Barclay is just passing through, looking for a home and could we find him one?

Barclay is 50% teddy bear, 50% polar bear, and 100% loveable! His name means “birch trees by the white bridge” in old english/gaelic. He’s 10 inches tall, 7 inches sitting, with adorable oversized feet!

He’s made of wonderfully soft, thick and creamy cotton sweater material. His muzzle, ear and paw linings are a coordinating, buttery, coffee-with-cream suede.

He’s stuffed with high quality polyester fiberfil, a touch of lavender, and just enough steel bb’s deep within his stuffing to make him pleasingly heavy, and oh so huggable!

Barclay’s limbs are jointed. He has a pretty vintage metal button at each joint with a lovely basket weave design. They compliment the creaminess of his “fur” so nicely.

Barclay has a sweet handstitched black cotton nose and smiling mouth, and cream cotton floss handstitched “claws”.
He has beautiful, shining eyes made of caramel colored tiger eye stone beads.

Barclay Bainbridge would make a unique, handmade collectible gift for someone you love over the age of 12 (due to his small parts, please use your own discretion when buying for someone younger than 12), or add Barclay to your own collection of adorable bears!

Barclay Bainbridge is individually made, like all our bear friends here on the Moor, and comes with a card dated and signed by the Artist.

Back at the Blackberry bush in the far corner of the Moor another bear makes a sweet appearance with the soft rising of the sun. Who can resist a mouthful of sweet ripe blackberries? Certainly not a black bear :0)

Bramble Thornberry is a wonderfully friendly bear with a very sweet disposition. He’s 10 inches tall from head to toe, 7 inches sitting. Bramble’s made of soft and huggable black cotton velvet, with buttery caramel colored suede muzzle, paw pads and ear linings.

Bramble’s stuffed with our favorite: 100% brand new wool batting, a touch of dry lavender, and just enough steel bb’s deep within his tummy and feet to make him pleasingly heavy and “real”. Bramble is sturdy enough to stand on his own too!

Bramble Thornberry has pretty, crested metal buttons from our vintage metal button collection that add to his old fashioned appeal that we love so well.

Bramble’s sweet nose and smile are handstitched with black cotton floss and much love. His eyes are beautiful amber tiger eye stone beads.
Bramble Thornberry is one of the sweet bears we like to call our JUST FOR YOU! bears. He’s a collectible made of extra special all natural materials, and not suitable for young children. He’s a treasure for you or someone you love over the age of 12.

Bramble is individually made, and one of a kind, like all our bears here on the Moor. He will come with a card dated and signed by the Artist.
