To Spin Or Not To Spin... Part 3(The Finale!)

Today I was having lunch with my mom, dad, and a friend. I was telling the story and again everyone laughed. I was leaving lunch and checked my mail on my iPhone. To my surprise there was an email sent to me that was all about buying my own "beginner's set." I then immediately went home and told my husband and finally his response was "I'm probaby going to regret this, but I wouldn't be opposed to you adding a piece of spinning furniture to our home as long as we can keep the house cleaned up." I was exploding with excitement and began searching for my new toy. I won't jump right in with a huge expense, but I can start dreaming, right?

To Spin or Not to Spin Part 2

Fast forward to a gathering with friends a few days later and I'm retelling the story. My husband interrupts and says that at the very moment the words were exiting his mouth he remembered telling me "no" and was quickly regretting speaking. Everyone laughed and still nothing was said...

To Spin or Not to Spin... Part I

About a year ago I told my husband that I wanted to start spinning my own yarn. This news was met with a stern "NO, YOU HAVE TOO MANY HOBBIES ALREADY." Okay, so slightly disappointed I re-focused my efforts onto hobbies I currently did have. (Not too many, just a variety) Last week my husband and I were walking the streets of Solvang and saw a spinning wheel in the window. No kidding the words out of my husband's mouth were, "Have you ever thought about spinning your own yarn?" I looked at him with a gaping wide mouth and questioning eyes. What the ...? "Yes, Yes," I wanted to shout. Instead I casually told him about the time I asked and he told me "no." The discussion ended...

Delay in Etsy

I've hit a few snags in getting my Etsy site up and running. I'm also revitalizing my www.jenniferburgan.com address. I promise as soon as things are up and running I will let you know.

It has been a busy summer. I decided to get a head start on Christmas this year and I have already completed four Christmas presents. My goal is to be done with Christmas presents by Thanksgiving. This would allow me the time to relax and enjoy wrapping gifts this year.

I've also been busy working on improving my little trailer (SoCal Gal - 1966 Serro Scotty Sportsman). If you'd like to see my progress, check out socalgal.blogspot.com.

New Etsy Store is Coming

I have decided to open a store on Etsy. I will be selling my hand crafted items that many people have been asking for. I will soon be having a giveaway contest on my blog. Please stay tuned for more information.
