We are still Here!!

Hey There!

We are in fact still here, things have been busy and I have not had access to a computer( I now have my one back), just the iPad so blogging sorta went out the window!

Fizz Checking out the New Computer

Over the past few months we have both been busy Gabe is working like crazy and I have been doing quite a few shows and custom orders!  (as well as finally making us our own quilts)

Gabe's PACMAN Quilt!

There has been no travel happening here lately apart from trips to Wellington, Greytown and Napier. And yes we are getting itchy feet. VERY itchy. We are thinking and planning something this year so stay tuned you may be getting a visit from us!
Fizz is doing well, and we are very happy to announce she has her FINAL chemo this week. It has been a long stretch but we are almost there. She has experienced alot of fur loss, but is also beginning to feel alot better and has been catching quite a few birds (and eating them), the odd cicada and even a fly! We cannot wait for when we don't have to take her to the Vets every week! The Vets and Nurses are sad that they will miss out on their weekly cuddles from Fizz, but are also very pleased that she is sooooo much better!
Last week we had a very fun Superbowl party and I made a few YUMMY things, one of the new dishes I made was "Hot Bean Dip", it was so easy to make and everyone loved it...So next time you have a crowd to feed give it a go! Its SOOOOO EASY!

Mix the 2 together and mix in chopped chillies or Jalapenos (what ever you can handle- we have about 3 tablespoons and it’s spicy!)

Top with grated cheese and pop in a 180 degree oven for approx 15min until cheese is melted

Top the Bean dip with any of the following (Whatever you like- We like the works!)
