Oh Daisy. Finding comfort wherever she is.

Impossible to get any work done at the studio today. And that’s just fine with me.

A Mighty Apron. Custom designed cross-back apron constructed from waxed canvas for lifelong wearability with laser-engraved leather logo and name tags. Made especially for Iryna.

Let me introduce you to Heather, the zippered tote. As usual – she is one of one. Made exclusively from reclaimed textiles including off-cuts, weathered cotton work shirt, vintage leather and rescued hardware.

Hey Red Deer friends!

Here's what happens when you fail to lock your car – unintentionally – in a downtown parking lot. It gets cleaned out. Well, not entirely – they left the dime that was in the console.

I don't care that someone was desperate enough to go through it. Honestly, I hope someone makes good use of the clothes that were in the tote that was destined for my daughter. There was nothing of value otherwise.

And I will make another one for my daughter, however, this was her tote – and if someone happens upon it – I'd be ever so grateful to have it returned.

Downtown Red Deer The City of Red Deer

Even Daisy, our resident Woof, had to get in on the lerve. 💕

Sunworks Living Downtown Red Deer

We chatted with a couple "local legends" and asked what they love about downtown Red Deer. Nora Smith is a champion for the downtown and works to empower citizens who want to be involved in shaping their own vision of downtown. And Carl Stretton is a musician and sound engineer that has been an absolute staple in Red Deer's music scene for years! What do YOU love about downtown Red Deer?
