am i crazy?

i know, i know, i have been away from blogging for ages...no excuses here, just slack...anyway...

awhile ago i bought a couple of cloth nappies for macy just to try this cloth nappy thing out, and i am now loving them. it took me a bit to get used to, but i have decided to get a few more. i have her in them just while im at home, so i guess i could be classed as a part-time cloth user!

i came across an article in which a mum speaks about cloth wipes and why they chose to use them. using cloth wipes just doesnt make any sense to me but after reading this article i decided to give them a go. in the article, her reasons for using cloth wipes were not only the money aspect but for the reason of when you change a cloth nappy, you have no where to put the disposable wipe! i too have found this really frustrating and so it made sense to me that if you use cloth wipes, you can just chuck them in the wash with the nappies. *lightbulb moment* haha.. and every extra bit of money i can save would be useful. i need to get a spray bottle together and make up a cloth wipes solution next.

so i got together some flannel material that i have in one of my craft boxes and an old basic cloth nappy, cut them up to 8"x 8" squares (the same size as disposable wipes). i then just overlocked them together and ta-da! im only 1/2 way through as i know that im going to need more. here is a look at them when they are all still nice and crisp with no hint of poopy-ness!

and of course, my little helper, always willing to be amongst it all!

so, back to the title of my post - am i crazy? i havent actually used these yet so i will have to give you an update on how i go. have any of you used cloth wipes? i would love to hear all about it!
