Every morning when LG wakes me up (around 6:30 for the past week, ugh) after about half an hour of our hidding in her room, playing on the floor, she decides it’s time to leave. She will go over to the bedroom door and bang on the wall until I let her out. A few months ago she used her head, now she knows to use her arms, she will fuss and cry if I don’t let her out. So we go out into the kitchen, and after about another half hour (now 7:30) she decides it is time for her big sister to wake up and will go to her bedroom door and bang on that. I’ve tried playing the ‘move her 10 times in a row to see if she stops’ and I can tell you, she is willful! So poor big sister and dad get woken up far too early, and as BG doesn’t nap, she really needs to sleep in as long as nature allows. Continue reading “Every Morning (aka 9 months)” »

So I finally made it to NYC and back in one piece, with the kids along for the ride (they made it back in one piece too!) and I had a total blast in NYC, and spent too much money on shoe’s (never shop with a toddler, you will buy something ridiculous due to distraction and frustration) I’m not sure why I have to keep learning that lesson over and over again.

We took our annual beach-house vacation in Destin, Florida. There is a wonderful little cottage rental in Crystal Beach called the “Sea Belle” it has 3 bedrooms (2 up stairs, master downstairs) and a pool outside, and even better, an alert/alarm that beeps anytime one of the pool doors is opened, so if you have little ones you know they have gone outside, but there is another non-beepy door if you don’t want to be annoyed by the beep. It’s easily 2 blocks from the beach, and very close to a wonderful little coffee joint. It’s also only 10 miles from “Unwind with Yarn” which is in Fort Walton just a short drive down the road, and they now carry a bunch of my patterns! It’s one of my favorite yarn shops to visit, it has loads of Blue Sky Alpaca (even that cotton-multi that I adore right now) and Dreams in Color (I snagged 3 skeins for a proper February Lady) and lots of wonderful samples knit up and the friendly staff you have ever met. I sat and knit again with the same ladies I knit with just last year. Continue reading “Destin, Florida” »

We all took an early trip to the Gulf this week, and we happened to be right when the effects of the oil spill are slowly spreading towards the coast. Everyone here is bracing themselves for the worst, and the locals tell me people can’t go down as deep as the break to stop it (1 mile down), and if the small leak which is technically already huge, breaks any further (which is very possible) it could dump an immeasurable amount of oil into the sea. To me the scariest part is that we can’t reach it with anything accept robotics, and the they aren’t working or able to fix it. Continue reading “Sending Hope to the Gulf Coast” »
My name is Brandy Fortune, and I design knit-wear for kids. I love Crème Brulée, Sci-Fi, 70 degree weather and reading a good book in bed. I spend my time knitting, sewing, taking pictures, co-editing the web-zine
