Not a Throwback Thursday, but a Throwback from Four Years

Four years ago I made these crate seats as an option for student
seating in my classroom. Since then I've been asked many times if I would make these seats for others. My answer has always been: I've provided the directions to make them at http://fromonetwentyseven.blogspot.com/2012/08/crate-seats-and-storage.html and they are really easy to make.  This is also the most looked at post on this blog. :)

This year I decided to make a few more of these seats for myself because, for some reason, the kids love them.  I  also created two online stores this summer, one is at MyBigCartelt http://fromonetwentyseven.bigcartel.com/ and the other is a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/fromonetwentyseven/. I like the idea of the FB page because it allow you to send me a message of what you want and I can respond with options and prices.

The crates I made this year are a basic blue with a cotton blue stripe, padded top. These are very durable and sturdy , contrary to what my better half thinks.  If you are interested in purchasing one, a set, or more of the crates, head on over to my FB page, request friendship ( I'll respond as soon as I can) and then send me a message of what you would like. We can discuss color options, prices, and delivery then. :)

Lessons Learned:

1. Sometimes the easiest thing for me to make is difficult for other. I shouldn't assume just because I can do it others can. This applies to many, many parts of my life and others.

What do you think about these crates? I would love to hear your thoughts.
