Our trip to Ace was extremely fruitful in terms of my weekend creative to-do list. I got some screw eyes for the yarn revamp though I still need some bolt eyes and short bolts with nuts. I also got zip ties for the 2 milk crate projects. I had thought about bolting them together for a more permanent hold and maybe I will in the future. But for now, zip ties will definitely do the trick. I was able to get the plastic spray primer for the milk crate bench seat (on sale!). I got a couple other random items off the dollar tables. As aforesaid, the trip was very fruitful since we hit the grocery store after that. Sky absolutely had to help me with the milk crate plant stand project I decided to start after lunch. Once I put her down for her nap I was able to install it out on the deck.
Here's a few shots of our afternoon endeavor:

*Once I got the stand in place and all the zip ties tightened, I snipped the ends. I like the clean look. It's a little sparsely clad right now but I'd say the project was a success. Next spring I'll be planting herbs and other little whatnots for use in the kitchen and I'll have plenty of space to grow them on my sweet milk crate plant stand.
I said "we'll see if this happens".....pfffffft, I squashed this project off my to-do list!
