Eric Taylor Basketry Web Workshop Corrections

I’ve been a baaaaad basketmaker’s wife. Well, more like a baaaaaad employee in Mr. Basketmaker’s marketing department. But honestly, what do you expect when I work for free? There have been errors on Eric’s workshop page on the website for a couple months now. However, I have finally fixed them.

Now I reiterate… I only fixed the issues on his workshop schedule page. I have not added the images to each of the kits which has been on my to-do list for two years now or fixed the finishing kit’s Paypal link or added his new bungalow baskets which are not new anymore since I was supposed to do that last year or added the mini baskets in the gallery — do I need to go on and embarrass myself even more?

But in my defense, I have always told you I am a constant procrastinator! And web stuff I put off the longest. It drives me crazy. I cannot stand html, I don’t read html, I don’t speak html, I don’t want to know html but I have to figure it out to fix issues on the website when they arise. Don’t like it, but I have to suck it up and do it. Then whine on my blog about how I despise html and upkeeping websites.

I mean look at my own website. Wait, I didn’t mean that literal because I have not updated it since 2008! Then a couple months ago, I decided to completely delete the entire site to make me update it. So what is there, two months later? An “under construction” message. And I have had five clients in the last five weeks comment to me that they needed to view my portfolio for a new project they wanted to hire me for! Not good. But I always figure out a way around things like that… sent them my portfolio as a PDF and all is good. That should buy me another couple months.

So, back to Eric’s website. I fixed the errors in the schedule and will list here the corrections, so hopefully, the people who are hosting these workshops will forgive me for not doing it sooner!

The Association of Michigan Basket Makers convention: I have replaced the “To Be Determined” with the dates October 16-20.

The workshop at The Basket Cottage in Milton, Georgia also had a “TBA” for the longest time. The actual dates are November 1 & 2.

I added the third day for Saltbox Crafters in Connecticut, so Eric will be teaching Thursday – Saturday, December 5-7. Also, I had Mary Jo’s email incorrect. It is saltbox.crafters@cox.net if you want to contact her.

And finally, I fixed the date for the Ocala, Florida workshop at The Basket Cases. I incorrectly had January 2nd. The correct date is January 3rd, 2014. Sorry Anne! If you would like to take this class, you can contact Anne at abulmer3506@gmail.com

I think that is it! Well, for the schedule at least. Next is all the other stuff……..
