I joining Ginny and many others again for her yarn along. My fingerless gloves are slowly progressing, Ive finished one and gotten half way through the second one.
Last Thursday I had a great birthday! One of my wonderful presents was a knitting kit that my auntie Levin made up for me.
The knitting pattern is  The Age of Brass and Steam kerchief and the yarn is Madeline Tosh merino DK in 'geode' colourway. She also included the needles I need for the pattern and the cute 'I Knit You' pencil pictured above (I got way over excited about the pencil, I love it:)
I began knitting, decided id wait until I got better stitch markers to continue as I have plastic ones which are bulky and horrible to use. I then accidentally pulled out the needle and decided to just un pull it for now! Will be on the lookout for cute stitch markers and hope to report progress on it next week!

 My book- I've fallen in love with this book that I'm reading to the day care children at nap time. Its 'The Sea Side Family' by Enid Blyton. I got it ages ago at a garage sale and its been sitting neglected in bag of books until I found it the other day.
Its such a sweet book, the family live in horse drawn caravans and decide to go live at 'seagull cove' for the Summer holidays. Its the type of book that makes me want to sit there reading long after the littlies have all fallen asleep:)

 Here are some pictures from my birthday. I had a great day, had family come to visit and enjoyed being nice and spoiled

Willow got so much attention I think he thought it was his birthday!

The other day I went to the Natropath. Her name is Maureen and she has a nice little house only a few blocks away from my aunties. She was so nice and she made me feel so comfortable and hopeful that I can improve my Poly cystic Ovarian Syndrome and hopefully get pregnant.

I love that she was very focused on my overall health and how we can heal my cysts and stop them from coming back rather than just trying to get me pregnant. I feel like when (yes ill say when not if, best to stay positive:) I do finally get pregnant my baby will be healthier because ill be healthier.

Shes given me some different herb and vitamins to take and shes also put me on a diet of foods that are good for my blood type, getting pregnant and also my PCOS. So.... No wheat, no sugar, almost no dairy. Its hard but I'm getting used to what I can eat and I look forward to feeling healthier. I go back in two weeks and will have laser acupuncture which I'm quite excited about. Its good to feel so positive! I'm so glad I went
