When I see these photos I think of the song “You are an obsession” by the 80′s group Animotion. I’m kinda embarrassed to say this, but this isn’t all of it… not even close… the rest of it is in my hobby room. Oh, wait… did I say my hobby room? What I meant to [...]

I finished Darryl’s crew cap while he was gone on to Atlanta for training. He really seems to like it.

So you might be wondering why me; a guy; would be posting about knitting. Well the misses is making me a crew cap and from the picture she showed me, it looked really cool.

Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
