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 
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.
Send all of your hope here, to the fish, birds and dolphins that will no doubt be caught up in this awful catastrophe.
Thanks for keeping our beaches in mind! Next time you are down here, we should get together!
I offer dinner and spinning.
