De Dentro Para Fora com Sofia Cotrim

From the Inside Out with Sofia Cotrim

I'm SofiaI was born in Rio de Janeiro in 79. My mother went to Brazil with my grandparents and ended up meeting my father, a native of Rio de Janeiro. I'm the eldest of three sisters. And I'm lucky to have them around. I was the first of my friends to get married and this year we're on our way to 23 years together. I have three wonderful children and a dog. 

I'm very curious and I love crafts. I like DIY, embroidery, photography, some types of painting, cooking. These are such different things that when I had to choose a name for my project it could only be a name where I could put my whole world inside, and so I called it "Sofia's World". 

I'm very happy doing what I do.
