Q: I can’t believe it’s already Friday! You?
Eric: I actually didn’t know it was Friday until an hour ago when you said you needed me to answer questions! Felt like a Wednesday to me.
Q: Okay why did you make me take this photo of cheap plastic hangers with baskets hanging from them?
Eric: It’s an inventive way to dry baskets after a finish has been applied.
Inventive? With cheap plastic hangers?
Did you want me to use your wood hangers?
Yes! Don’t use those cheap plastic hangers again! And I’m sure there’s many basketmakers out there with much more sophisticated drying secrets than this… I mean seriously…
Okay Joan Crawford.
Totally not relevant because she used a wire hanger AND, a totally inappropriate response for this blog…
Q: I’m a guilty pet owner.. Did you see all the hair I cut off of Chance today? I needed to do that before your workshops and never did. Your students must think I neglect him…
Eric: Chance neglected? Of course not. You are always grooming and petting and talking to him non-stop. He is so spoiled. Both our dogs are spoiled. Nonsense talk.
Q: I finally finished all the liners to your City Pack Basket for the Cottage Girls. They are going out in tomorrow’s mail. Are you embarrased that it took me six months to get them done?
Eric: No ’cause I know you had lots of stuff going on all at once… and artists move at their own slow pace…
You calling me slow?
Final Question please…
Q: What aggravated you this week?
Eric: I have a good one. Get this. I went and bought ground turkey for you and ground beef for me to make burgers tonight in honor of you finishing all those liners and before I left I saw a package of buns and thought we were all set. Well, when I pulled them out an hour ago, they were hot dog buns.
Oh my gosh… Is that why you rolled up these things that are cooking on the grill? I was about to ask what you were doing or what exactly are we eating???
Yeah, I decided to “roll them” in shape so they can sit in a hot dog bun. But finding they need to cook very slowly. So soon we will find out if it’s a brilliant idea or a big fail.
Doesn’t matter to me what shape the food you cook is in. I’m hungry and I will eat anything!
