Yes, more cloth diapers....

I am always on the look out for a good deal on cloth diapers especially covers. Etsy is one of my favorite places to look for unique diapers and good prices. Besides, by buying from individuals I get to help out small business owners and stay at home moms trying to make a living. My newest diapers and covers come from a shop named Counting the Blessings. The colors are vibrant and the fit of the diapers are trim. If you have a very chunky toddler you may want to request a slightly larger size but they are designed as a one size fits all with adjustable snaps or closures. My babies are on the smaller size so these work great for us. I would love to have some more pocket diapers from this store but since I have so many prefolds and they work fine for us I just can't justify buying more pocket diapers so covers it is....

More diaper covers

A good friend offered to let me borrow some small diaper covers. I am so lucky to have friends and family to help support me in my goal to continue using cloth diapers.

Newest diapers

OK, my mother rocks! She has never made any fitted diapers before till now. She made these out of the fabric from the yard sale I helped out at last weekend. They are awesome. She only had velcro for one so I pinned one with diaper pins to try it out. I can go get more velcro if needed. If the pins work out fine I'll just use them. Ben needs to get up from nap so I can try them out!

More homemade diapers

These diapers are awesome! Ben will actually let me put them on him. That boy will run around naked all day if we let him. They were made by a friend of mine years ago. She used to make them as a home business. She had these left over and sold them in a yard sale. I was helping her out at the yard sale and I scooped them up. There were about 5 in total. I picked up some scrap fabric at the yard sale too. I gave the fabric to my mother and showed her the diapers. She is going to try to make some for me. They work so well!

Homemade cloth diapers

My mother is the best. She knows how to sew but doesn't do so very often. I have no clue how to sew anything. I can manage to sew a button on and that is about it. I am all about homemade cloth diapers right now as we get ready for the new baby. I asked my mother to try and make me some cloth diapers. I wanted some made by her because they would be special just for that fact and to try and use some recycled material. I found all kind of patterns for her to try out. I really like plain ole prefolds and that is what she made me. I love them. And they even smell like Granny. When I brought them home Evan and Eliot were all over them. I did not know cloth diapers were so much fun. They built castles out of them, made beds out of them, and played for nearly 2 hour with the baby dolls with them. Thank you so much Granny!!

Cloth diapering

I am dreaming of cloth diapers again. I recently bought some newborn homemade diapers off of Etsy. they were cute, unique, made from old fabrics, and so cheap!!!! I have washed all of my prefolds. I have a few wool soakers and a few diaper covers. I am almost all set. since I will be home more with this little one I plan on using more cloth. I would love to commit to elimination communication but I am not sure I am up for it. There are so many cloth diaper options out there and some are very expensive. I really like old fashioned prefolds. Now I have come across some patterns on making your own prefolds!!! I so need to learn to sew. Maybe I can talk my mother or mother-in-law in helping me. check out the diapers I just bought..... (Annika was my photographer)

The wonderfully talented person that made these can be found on Etsy at PeanutPants

Trying out my new diaper covers.

Grandma was so kind to knit Ben some diaper covers. I like to use the old fashioned cloth diapers with diaper pins. These covers work great. I like to use dipers without covers sometimes to just let my babies air out. I threw some Baby Legs on Ben to keep his legs warm when we were outside.
