This project "Spirit of Nimikii" has been created in loving memory of my youngest son Bennett. I feel him with me always, guiding me from the Spirit World -- and I know he is supporting me in this new journey.
I receive great healing in every stitch as I feel very connected to my ancestors and all that they have endured, never faltering, to remain a strong Anishnaabe nation. I hope to do you all proud.
Each bead, and each stitch, represents a prayer for the recipient. I set my greatest intentions as I lovingly create each design, guided by my heartfelt instincts.
I thank each and every one of you for your comfort and support during my intense days of grief -- Gchi-miigwech for sticking with me.
Gizaagin,
