Welcome to Mouse & Sparrow
Hi, I’m Claudia—a mother of three and the heart behind Mouse & Sparrow. My crochet journey started when I was seven, but it wasn’t until I went through a challenging chapter in life that I discovered how transformative crochet could be. It became my sanctuary—a creative outlet that brought me calm, joy, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I created Mouse & Sparrow to share this magic with you. Here, crochet isn’t just about making something; it’s about embracing creativity, finding relaxation, and savouring the little moments—whether it’s completing your very first row or celebrating a finished project.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From the organic yarns we use to the eco-friendly packaging we deliver your kits in, Mouse & Sparrow is where creativity meets mindfulness and care for our planet.
My Goal
My overall goal is to raise awareness of anxiety and menopause-related mental health challenges while helping people find calm and connection through mindful crafting.
My Purpose
Why did I create a business centred on mental health and mindfulness?
Because it’s personal.
For years, I battled chronic migraines without realizing they were tied to anxiety. I’ve always been an overthinker. Now, as I navigate the mental and emotional shifts brought on by menopause, I’ve felt the need for tools and practices that foster calm and clarity.
When I created Mouse & Sparrow, I thought about a space that combines crafting, mindfulness, and self-care. I wanted to build something that resonates deeply, not just with me but with others who need a moment of peace in their day.
At its heart, Mouse & Sparrow is about helping you slow down, breathe, and find joy in the small, mindful moments.
Materials I love to use
My commitment to sustainability is reflected in my choice of yarns and products. I believe that the materials we use are just as important as the products we create. That’s why we carefully select organic yarns, natural fibers, and sustainable materials for all of our crochet kits.
Natural Yarns
The yarns I use are made from 100% organic fibers, free from harmful chemicals and pesticides. This makes them safer for you to use and gentler on the planet. Whether it's organic wool, which is soft, durable, and naturally insulating, or organic cotton, which is breathable and ideal for lightweight projects, each yarn offers unique benefits for your crafting.
Mindfulness
I believe that crafting is not just about creating; it's a form of self-care. My aim is to offer easy, beginner-friendly patterns that allow you to relax, unwind, and find calm. Every project is designed to help you slow down, focus on the present, and enjoy the process. If you're new to crochet or looking for mindful moments, these patterns are here to support your journey to peace and relaxation.
Eco Friendly Packaging
I take pride in eco-friendly packaging, using recyclable and compostable paper and card.
My FSC-certified materials ensure sustainability, while bamboo crochet hooks and organic yarns offer biodegradable alternatives to plastic.
There is a lot to read around here and the last thing I want you to feel is overwhelmed.
