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."

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.
