KT Made It: Baby Closet Dividers

It's hard to think of an introduction for this blog post when I have been absent for so long from sharing all the did-it's I have been doing. Perhaps it's best to state the truth: the did-it's that I have been doing are mommy duties to our beautiful (and very active) almost-4-month-old baby girl! I have even considered evolving my blog to reflect my adventures (misadventures?) in parenting an infant, as it would certainly make for comical reflection and perhaps might even be informative or maybe even comforting for other new mommies who, like me, are trying to figure out this thing called parenthood! 

While there may certainly come a time when parenting stories and struggles could become the norm, today I am excited to share a project that I have been slowly working on for Rachel's nursery: closet dividers! In the many hours I spent on Pinterest while holding her at night as a newborn when she would not sleep anywhere but in our arms, I came across many cute ideas for these dividers to organize the sizes of baby's clothes. 

I made my dividers using 89cent wooden door hangers from Michaels craft store, acrylic paint and ribbon. 

I made four different dividers: 3months, 6months, 9months, and 12months. I made a different pattern for each divider using two or three of the colors of the nursery (purple, turquoise, gray, white). Here are some pictures of my work, which I accomplished little by little over the last week while Rachel sat contently for various lengths of time (usually very short moments in fact) in her Bumpo seat or vibrating chair next to me listening to me sing her Disney songs or tunes from Toddler Radio on Pandora. 

 And here are the finished dividers! 

Quite an accomplishment, and pretty cute if I do say so myself!

Farewell friends, until we craft again 😊
