First Some Background

Theresa is a fellow Langdon resident who I met through some of the local Facebook groups. She does some amazing work so I was really excited when she decided to join up and sell some of her items through Thea-Bel. I really hope you enjoy learning more about her.

Theresa is fairly new to Langdon. She moved from Toronto where she worked as a Personal Support Working taking care of seniors and new born babies. She is a widow. Now that she is retired, she is enjoying the opportunity to spend more time working on her creations.

How did you come up with your name?

I got the name The Humble Crafter from many of my clients and friends as they said that I am very humble loving person.

What Attracted You to Making What you Do?

I'm been creating things since I was a young girl at home. I learned from my mom and her sisters when I was around eight or nine years old and have been perfecting things ever since.

How Long Have You Been Making Your Creations?

Well I have been active for a long time, it was only in 2017 that I started selling my creations as a small business.

How Do You Decide What to Create?

The items that I make generally just come to me.

Any Big Plans for New Items?

This year I really want to expand my business. [Hopefully this means we will see lots of great new items this year].

What Do You Hope People Get From Your Items?

I really hope that people get pleasure from my creations and think that it is neat work.

Do You Have a Favorite Product That You Have Created?

Yes my hand embroidery of the Tiger Lilies, for my niece. [I agree, this is beautiful].

What is your favorite product created by someone else on Thea-Bel?

I really like the handmade soaps. [Me too, so many wonderful soaps to choose from]

What Prompted You to Join Thea-Bel?

I was talking to my friend Diane who owns a used bookstore [if you are a book lover then you need to check out Never Ending Stories in Langdon, amazing store] and she mentioned Thea-Bel. I checked it out and signed up.

Is There Anything Else You Want People To Know?

I love taking on custom work. I've done lots of large and small sized projects and would love to make something for you.

Is There Anywhere Besides Thea-Bel That People Can Get Your Items?

Just through Thea-Bel at the moment.

Do You Do Custom Work?

Yes I do custom work. I do try to do my best not to repeat my patterns and colours so that each item is one of a kind.
