✨Meet the Maker✨Taanishi! 👋🏼
If you’re new here, I’d like to introduce myself. And if you’ve been here a while, you’ll noticed some things have changed!
•
My name is Kelsi and I’m a Métis Maker from Saskatchewan. My proud family lineage comes from Batoche, Sk and I was born and raised in Saskatoon. Some things about me:
🩵 I am a wife, a mom to two wonderful kids and a dog mom to a very cute puppy.
🩵 By day, I work as a High School Vice Principal.
🩵 My passion is Indigenous Education and teaching/learning about culture.
🩵 I have been beading for about 25 years and love challenging myself to learn new techniques and skills.
•
If you’ve been here a while and are still reading, you’ll notice that my business has shifted a bit over the years. I started out selling custom clothing as my love of sewing grew (don’t worry, it’s still there!). As I got busier as a mom and with my career, I found it more and more difficult to find time to sit at the sewing machine. I’ve always beaded on the side and realized I found a lot more joy in connecting with that creativity. I still sew from time to time but mostly just for myself and my family. You’ll find smaller sewn items at markets throughout the year but I really just love sharing my beadwork and my culture with others more!
•
My new name 🩵 Bluebird Beadwork 🩵 is inspired by my grandma. Her and I used to sell beadwork together when I was young and she was always a strong supporter of my business, often coming to sit with me at markets to visit and help hold my babies or make sales.
•
I know this is a long post but I truly appreciate you for being here and following my beadwork. Hope to see you at some markets this winter. 🩵 Maarsii!

It’s been a long while! I’ve taken the last year to focus on my career but have been beading and creating behind the scenes! Excited to share some of my makes this holiday season! Hope to see you there and stay tuned for a couple more markets I’ll be at before Christmas.
