Boozhoo! Bonjour! Hi there and thank you for taking the time to stop by my site.
My name is Taylor and I am an educator, a dog mum, paddling and camping enthusiast, a crafter, an Anishinaabemowin learner, a reader and a beader.
Here, you will find the product of busy hands and an attempt at a calm mind.

I started beading in 2018 around the kitchen table of the Indigenous Student Center at Queen’s University. After learning how to bead on felt around a button, I finished one row and I was hooked immediately.
Looking back now on that first piece which is pinned lovingly to my great-aunt’s striped coat, I see that I have already come a long way since those first uncertain stitches. I recognize also that there is so much room to keep growing, and that is the most beautiful of all.


Chii Miigwechwendam, baamaapii g’ga waabamin — Miigwech to all for being here, I will be seeing you.
