So. I finished the Clapotis very late Tuesday night, or very early Wednesday morning. I even sewed the ends in Wednesday night! I haven’t gotten photos yet but that’s on the list of several chores we have today.
So gold medal for me!
First, we’re going to go pick up Zola’s ashes and pay the balance on our vet bill. They let you pay in installments in certain circumstances. As one of the doctor’s said, “When your file is this thick you can pay in whatever installments you like.” We’ll bring her back home because I’m not comfortable running errands with her ashes in the car. So she’ll be in the living room with Ascii’s ashes.
Then, we’re heading over to Village Wools to buy yarn for me and our friend in the Netherlands. I’ve talked her into making her Rogue with Silk Road Tweed so we’re picking some up for her and shipping it in a box of goodies we’re about to mail. She insists on paying me for the yarn which is ok but I hope to pick up some extra presents too.
Next we go to the dentist who is also allowing us to pay is gifuckingnormous bill in installments. This was our nice New Year’s surprise. We thought we’d paid our portion each time and the rest would be covered by insurance. However, we were never really given an estimate of how much it had all actually cost. Until after the insurance had paid their part, then we reveived a lovely bill for the remaining chunk of change. Happy New Year! This guy charges way way too much. But he’s the first dentist we’ve found in New Mexico whom I don’t want to punch in the head. So we’re trying to decide if we want to continue to pay these outrageous prices or take the risk of using another punch-in-the-head dentist.
Then it’s craft night at Beverly’s and hopefully, if her wheel gets delivered today, I’m going to bring my spinning wheel and get some spinnin’ done.
Somewhere in there we’re going to take photos of the clapotis and mail stuff. So I’m hoping I’ll have a chance to post photos sometime today but I’m not sure.


Congrats on the Clapotis and the medal!! Woot-woot!
Still sad about Zola. For some reason I’ve come across an unusual number of hedgehog pictures recently (I think mostly through the Cute Overload blog), and I always think of poor little Zola…
Great on the clapotis - I bought yarn for mine. On dentists - I recommend Dr. Grant at Grant-Davis dental. He’s awesome. Shane is having a ton of work done and he’s great to work with.
Finished Clapotis = yay!
It was nice running into you today! I’m glad you have a special spot for your Miss Zola, and way-to-freaking go on Clapotis!! I hope to see you wearing it next Tuesday!
Tell C thanks again for introducing Miss V to the dawggy grrl!
My original comment from last night didn’t post. The Clap is gorgeous! I love that you have all your Projects Spectrum organized and ready to go.
