Hi! My name is Alison!

I am a wife to my wonderful hubby, Josh. I am a mother to an awesomely beautiful little girl, Maggie. I am also a mother to a sweet, but sometimes silly dog named Dexter Bing.

I am a full-time Physical Education Teacher at Walton Ferry Elementary School, which I love!!!

Two years ago for Christmas, my wonderful husband surprised me and said that Santa had brought me a present. We had both agreed to not exchange gifts that year, so I was really surprised when there was something under the tree from Santa. It was a huge box and very heavy. I had no idea what it could possibly be.
It was a sewing machine!

I had been playing with the idea of teaching/reteaching myself to sew. I took Home Economics in High School where Mrs. Fentress and Mrs. Williams taught me how to use a sewing machine. I will never forget that I made this adorable fleece pullover jacket in that class. It was really well made, I remember…I just picked a TERRIBLE pattern of fabric. I was really proud of myself though. My grandmother tried to teach me how to stitch, but I just liked what a machine could do better.

Anyway, he got me the sewing machine and I have been teaching myself every since. I love to make things, even if they are ugly. The first thing I made was a shirt for Dexter…It was bad. But I loved that I could “make” something out of a roll of fabric. That is where the love began.

So, I sew. That’s my story!

I would love to make something special for you.

Anything fun and funky, I am all over that! Besides, that is what children are all about!
