Here is my desk today! Hope you see something that interests you cause there is a lot piled up in my crafting space! New stamps on the left was gifted to me by Crafters Companion, a new lot of Graphic 45 A Place In Time, a couple Tim Holtz dies I got in the mail yesterday (the toy soldier and tattered poinsettia) and some small bottles of Claudine Helmuth Studio acrylic paints and new brushes!

| Skiddy Kitty! |
Aren't they gorgeous! Skiddy is a very skittish kitty and has a black spot on her right flank that resembles the state of Texas! Stormy got her name from her stormy disposistion and is one of the most talkative cats I have every run across!
I was told by a friend about these two iPhone and iPad apps that are available at the Apple store. They have all sorts of useful advice about produces and foods.

A really useful tool for shopping but not so much for eating out. They rely on restaurants to furnish info and most don't want to go out on a limb to say it is GF!
I found a lot of interesting foods to try this week and have enjoyed some gluten free mac and cheese, a grilled cheese sandwich made with gluten free bread and tomato soup! Yummy! I am finding out more and more about the diet changes and in general changes that go with food intolerance's that I won't bore you with here and suffice it to say I am amazed!
Okay that's it for me today. IF you are wondering what all the desk talk was about go visit Julia at Stamping Ground. For more about my gluten free journey and other health issues check out Okienurse's Fibromyalgia Blog.
Oh those Kitties are so cute in their tree!! Mine has suddenly taken to curling up behind the door in the bathroom, she's going to get squashed one day if anyone opens the door a bit vigorously. Interesting to see the GF apps. My nephew has a gluten allergy on top of his diabetes (since age 3). It's a real struggle trying to find things that suit both although. Happy WOYWW Cindy#78
ReplyDeleteOoh interesting. My dad is Coeliac too. I shall also check out your Fibro blog because that is one of my conditions. Fab cat pics, their tree looks very comfy. And I spy SU ink pads, just have received my 1st ever order of them I have 6 but they are yummy. Pen storage! I also have just got my hands on it and it looks fab with all my speccies in. Take care.

ReplyDeleteHow frustrating for you to lose those tags...I so hate it when that happens. Your desk looks fascinating in all its chaotic glory and makes me want to rummage through and play. So glad that you are managing to find interesting foods that don't cause problems with your coeliacs - it is a challenge, but at least most major supermarkets now have gluten free sections to help. Your new cats are adorable. Thanks for sharing. Caro #73
ReplyDeleteThe tags will turn up under something you have put away I bet ya.. Your kitties in there tree look so cute, like the curved tops on that scratchy post. They look comfy. Just to let you know the owls have hatched and I managed to get a photo of the babies. I have it on my blog. Sandy :) #44
ReplyDeleteYour Tags will be found as soon as you stop looking for them!! That is the way it goes. I spotted something in the top right hand corner with has given me an Idea. That thing where you have embellishments and papers hanging from?! Yep and Idea has just formed in my Head!!!
ReplyDeleteSilvia #85
Happy WOYWW. Yes, your tags will turn up as soon as you stop looking for them. Happened with me with my sister's birthday card. As soon as I gave up and posted another one to her (which is why I have a box of spare cards for the days when I cannot make a special card), the original one was found on my hubby's desk (no idea why I had put it down in his office). At least I am prepared for next year! Lots of lovely stash on your desk. Ali x #63
ReplyDeleteOh I so want that poinsettia die and the G45 paper!! Lucky you. I've misplaced items too and have come across them a few weeks later when I was looking for something else. Happy WOYWW! Nan 19
ReplyDeleteOh I hate it when MOJO takes time off. When warm I take a long overdue walk and this week is to be warm again. AND MISSING ITEMS..the most frustrating time consuming thing. I have some of that since I redid my area.
ReplyDeleteI really think the mailman delivered the new things to the wrong address. These are things I've on a list and not taken time to order or shop for. Have fun with them and enjoy the week. #112
I like the look of that new TH poinsettia die, I've seen it around blogland a lotlately and think it may have to get added to the old wish list!!
ReplyDeleteYour new kitties are so cute. I love their sleeping arrangements.
Happy WOYWW

ReplyDeleteCarolyn #107
Hate mislaying things, Hubby and I spent about 2 hours looking for something the other day, gave up and 10 minutes later spotted them at eye level - how batty is that?! Love those goodies on your desk!! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteAre yo ustill teaching the canvas tag class this weekend of were those the tage you lost??? My "crap" room is a disaster! But I love this craft!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are finding yummy GF alternatives/meals!
Love your rescue kitties too. Sweet girls.
Your desk looks super to me and I am sure those tags will just surface when they want to, it's all for a reason!As for the furry girls... they are so adorable and whenever I see other peoples I realise how much i miss my late brood of 2 cats and a dog. With travelling so much as my family is far and wide, I won't home any more.
ReplyDeleteLove jo x
You are most welcome to join in with my angel swap. I'd love you to do so. I'll post details probably tomorrow..... no set rules... just an angel for a Christmas tree, not a big one made from anything you fancy. thanks for joining in!
ReplyDeleteJo x
ACK @ the missing canvas pieces. Gnomes at work. This is the main reason I need to have at least three things to do lol. That way if something goes missing, I can work on something else.
ReplyDeleteLovely crafty space and your girls are gorgeous :D. Hoping the pieces and your mojo come home soon. Perhaps dancing will help :D. #116
Hope you find what you're looking for including your lost mojo :-) Love the snps of your feline friends too.

Hi Vikki So annoying when you loose something you have done a load of work on !! When I do this I keep looking in the place that I think it SHOULD be - even though I know it isn't there because I have checked five times already !!
ReplyDeleteThose cats look really cute - especially in the high-rise catbed !! Have a great week Ali #52 x
Oh boy but do you have some fab stuff on your desk. Bet tomorrow you'll find your tags too!! (that is a problem I so identify with:) Loving that high-rise cat tree. Happy WOYWW, hugs Buttons #96

ReplyDeleteYour new stamps look great and theat die is to die for!!!
Thanks for visiting me. Love all your pens and inks. And such crafty goodness on your desk. I lose things all the time! You know they are there somewhre but things hide underneath and between things so you miss them altogether. Great cats. Looking to get a new one after Christmas as mine dear Cassie wondered off recently not to be seen since.

ReplyDeleteWhat lovely addition to your kitty family. They look as if they've settled in quite well.
Your desk looks nice and crafty!
Happy WOYWW
Hugs, Kay #5
Can't beat it when you get new things in the mail, especially crafty things. I have intolerances to milk and oil and really been finding it tricky to work around them but I am getting there. I hope you do to.
ReplyDeleteSo much fab stuff on your desk, loving the die! Your cats looks so gorgeous too! xx
ReplyDeleteNice selection of goodies on your desk, have fun playing with the new stuff.
ReplyDeleteYour fur babies are adorable, well done you for giving some unloved pound kitty's a home x

ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call a workdesk full of possibilities! I absolutely love Graphic 45 and could paper my walls in it! I am in love with every new project I see on their blog! I love the photos of your cats - so much fun! What brand of tomato soup do you get - I cannot find one that is gluten free that tastes good and can be used in a macaroni hotdish. Wishing you a happy day!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
