For Sale!

It is my great pleasure to announce that the first of our felt mobiles is up for sale on our Folksy shop! It is a small bird mobile in blues & florals and I am very proud to have created it from scratch. Starting from the initial design sketches, through making up scale drawings & templates, choosing materials, and finally hand-cutting & hand-sewing the little birds! Here are a couple of little pictures:

I hope you fall in love with them as much as I have. This one is available from the folksy shop now, at https://beta.folksy.com/shops/SophiesRoom

See you there!

Launching Sophie's Room on Folksy!

In the last couple of weeks I have been busy with a couple of Sophie's Room projects. The first has been finally turning designs into completed mobiles. More about that later! The second, and the subject of this blog post, has been launching a wonderful new online shop on Folksy!

You can find my folksy shop at https://beta.folksy.com/shops/SophiesRoom. You can also catch up with the latest developments, including new designs and pictures of work in progress, on our facebook page at facebook.com/sophiesroomdesigns.  I am so excited to be part of this wonderful community of crafters and look forward to seeing you all there!

Sophie's Room - introducing ourselves!

Greetings and welcome to Sophie's Room! We have been a long time in the making but we are finally here and ready to meet you, and very pleased we are about it.

Who "we" are.
Alexa, is a working Mum with ideas and a little free time to realise them. She enjoys all things crafty and has spent her life so far dreaming up small business ideas that have each revolved around what she can do with her hands. Something of a perfectionist, it has taken her many years to feel satisfied with any one idea, but now... at last, she has an idea that she is ready to unleash into the public domain! Alexa also has a more general blog known as Carey Fairy in which she writes about crafting, parenting, and really anything that takes her fancy.
Sophie is Alexa's daughter, her inspiration, and the ray of sunshine in her life making her laugh and keeping her grounded. It is Sophie's inspiration, and the support of family and friends, that has finally given Alexa the courage to launch this little enterprise.

What Sophie's Room is.
Sophie's Room is the creative home of an array of handmade and bespoke items, each lovingly designed and made by Alexa. The first items to be launched in this blog are a collection of beautiful felt mobiles for children's bedrooms and playrooms. Each of the pieces here is available to buy, and bespoke items can be created to fit with your chosen themes and colour schemes.

In the coming weeks you will be able to see new designs arriving on this blog as they are created, so we hope you will follow us and enjoy this journey of discovery with us. Perhaps you will even feel compelled to make a purchase or two?! We look forward to seeing more of you.

Lots of Love

Sophie's Room xx
