A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Some afternoons you just feel lazy, like lying around just doing nothing at all. Today was that day for me. After church and lunch Granny B just took the rest of the day off. Doing nothing at all.

My mind started thinking about my sweet B who is on vacation this week in Texas. Then I just had to get up and look at some pictures. All grannies have their favorites. No matter how many time you look at them you never grow tired of seeing that sweet face.

I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. They are all pictures from B's own Aunt Sa, my youngest daughter. She is a wonderful photographer.

Have a great week!

New Design

Just had to show off this new design. Look for it soon on the website http://www.grannybsclothesline.com/ I named it the Amanda Jane knot dress. Since the inspiration came from Amanda! Thanks girl. Love the Sisboom fabrics. They remind me of beautiful vintage prints.

New Fabric Storage

Here is a look at our weekend project. Granddaddy Mark built the new fabric closet and shelf space for me. I love looking at all the fabrics lined up together. Makes me want to get to work on new designs.

Be sure to shop our Sale page just added to the site.

New Fabrics

New fabrics are arriving and I'm slowly running out of room. So, I guess that means I need to get to work making new dresses. I love to see that brown truck stop in front of my house. He always brings me the best packages. I have a serious fabric obsession. There I admitted it!

I have so many ideas for the fall. I love all the colors and cannot wait to get started working on the fabrics.

I am working on a new line for Granny B's. It will be added to the website soon. It is called Butterbean Apron Co. You will find aprons for trendy moms and their little butterbeans as well. I just love aprons, they remind me of my grandmother. She always wore an apron and always had a pocket full of surprises.

Brantley Elizabeth Gray, B

OK, So your probably going to be tired of seeing my sweet Brantley in this space. She is growing up so fast and now loves to model for pictures. B loves to go downtown on the riverfront and she loves to feed the ducks there.

In this blog you will see the newest fabrics and ideas I have for new designs that are floating around in my head. I seem to dream of fabrics and new combinations. Each new box of fabric, brought to me by the ups man brings new dreams and sleepless nights. Can you believe I am already working on ideas for Easter Dresses! That's right EASTER! I know Santa has not even got the sleigh loaded yet but Peter Cottontail is already whispering in my ear. And he is talking about all the colors of jelly beans.
