Like many of my contemporaries, my first sewing project was an apron in Grade 7. From there it went to making clothing for the family. Now I like to create useful items. If not curling or cottaging, you will likely find me singing in the sewing room making curling broom bags, broom head covers, hats (people head covers!) and other items. I think of them as - pillows, purses & pretties.

Several years ago my son decided he was going to make electric guitars. While doing this we realized there was a lot of scrap or cut off wood from shaping the guitars. We decided it might be fun to use that scrap wood and make some cutting boards in the shape of guitars. Since the wood was mostly hardwood like maple, walnut and mahogany, we realized this would make the perfect cutting boards.
We design the boards as scaled down versions of real guitars and have been commissioned to do a variety of guitar designs as well as other shapes like mandolins, cellos and even surf boards. Recently, we even added Curling Stone coaster / bottle openers to our line up.
All No Fret Woodworking products are hand made from hardwood and the boards are edge grain to make it easier on knives as well as reduce any warping. Everything is coated with food safe oil.

A passion and delight with anything glass is the one constant in Terese’s life. The technique, be it copper foil, lead, fusing or sandblasting, may change and evolve, but not the love of glass. Although stained glass will always be a part of her, the focus now is on sandblasting and sand carving on coloured art glass, with subjects ranging from the windswept pine trees of Georgian Bay, the skies of Georgian Bay, to the wildlife in her backyard.

My favourite subjects are the beautiful towns, valleys, farms and vistas of the Ontario landscape. Since my inspiration comes from the land at a special moment, which is fleeting, my best work comes from plein air observation. I would like my work to portray the mood of the land, the universality of land rather than one specific place. Hopefully, when viewing my work, a special nostalgia for a similar place will be evoked in each viewers memory.

My love of jewellery has been a forever.
However, some 20 years ago I decided to try my hand at making a few pieces while working with sterling silver.
A life changing happening in my Family convinced me that perhaps I might be able to help the Princess Margaret Cancer Hospital & the Ride to Conquer Cancer by donating "all my profits" from my jewellery sales.
Since that time I have been committed to the Research program at PMCH.
Your support would be greatly appreciated.
