Consistency as an artist is something I’m really struggling with right now.
Between custom artwork, beadwork, and everything I create for Moonemis Cree-ations, my creativity isn’t always there and that’s hard to admit. I don’t like feeling like I’m “not doing enough,” even though I know I work a full-time job, take care of my home, attend tradeshows, support my community, and juggle a lot of responsibilities.

Sometimes my energy just isn’t where I want it to be. Some days I feel inspired and everything flows; other days I’m tired, drained, or stretched thin. It makes me feel guilty, even though I know creativity comes in waves and artists aren’t meant to run like machines.

I’m learning that it’s okay to move a little slower.
It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to recharge.
And it’s okay to honour the balance between being an artist, a community worker, and a human being.

I’m still proud of everything I create, even if it takes time. I’d rather give people my best than rush something that doesn’t feel right.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who is always constantly supporting me ❤️

Today we honour Indigenous Veterans Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis soldiers who served Canada in times of war, peacekeeping, and military service.

Before Indigenous Veterans Day was first recognized in 1994, the contributions of Indigenous soldiers were largely overlooked in Canadian history. Yet, Indigenous peoples have a long and proud tradition of service. Thousands enlisted during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War, often travelling great distances from their communities to volunteer; despite not being recognized as Canadian citizens at the time.

Indigenous soldiers brought exceptional skills in tracking, stealth, endurance, and marksmanship to the battlefield. Many became celebrated snipers, scouts, and leaders. However, when they returned home, many faced discrimination, unequal benefits, and barriers to the same supports offered to other veterans.

Today, we honour their courage, sacrifices, and the continued legacy of Indigenous men and women who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. Their strength, resilience, and dedication to protecting this land remind us of the true meaning of service.

Let us remember and give thanks to all Indigenous Veterans; past, present, and future.
Lest We Forget. 🕊️

🕯️ October 4th – Sisters in Spirit Day 🕯️

Today, we honour and remember the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQ+ people across Canada.

Sisters in Spirit Day is not only about remembrance, it is a call for awareness, justice, and change. Families, communities, and allies gather to stand in solidarity, to say the names of loved ones taken too soon, and to ensure their voices are never silenced.

This day reminds us of the ongoing crisis of violence faced by Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQ+ people, and the strength of the families who continue to fight for answers, healing, and safety for future generations.

Let’s walk together in love, awareness, and solidarity so that no sister, daughter, auntie, mother, or two-spirit relative is ever forgotten ❤️

So honoured to work with Sticks & Doodles 🧡Can’t wait until the full release!(Original artwork in comments)

Danelle & I are proud to share a preview of our first new ornament releasing at our 2025 Ornament Launch on October 17th!

Designed by Emilee Steffensen from Moonemis Cree-ations (who also created the land acknowledgement in our store), it grew out of a conversation we had with her this summer, and the excitement of designing an ornament that connected the recent patriotism to the history of these lands.

Her design was based on the idea of: “What does the maple leaf mean to me as an Indigenous person?”

It's beautiful, thoughtful, and rooted in reconciliation and growth. At launch, I’ll share her full write-up and what each part of the design represents, along with how Danelle turned it into an ornament.

Here's a quote from Emilee's write up:

"This design is something deeply personal; one that came from a place of cultural pride, connection, and creativity. At the heart of the image is the iconic maple leaf, a symbol widely recognized as representing “Canadian Made.” But to me, and to many others within Indigenous communities, supporting Canadian-made means much more than just a label; it means uplifting local makers, knowledge keepers, and traditions that are deeply rooted in our culture."

This ornament will be available on October 17th.

A portion of the proceeds will go toward supporting Indigenous initiatives across the province.
