English term or phrase: spins tales
La traducción será leída por hispanoamericanos.

Contexto:

"Taylor also displayed a photo of her mother, who was born in 1912, at 7 years old, wearing a fancy frock and high-button shoes. Taylor also **spins tales** of her husband, David, her sisters, daughters and son, mother, grandmother and five grandchildren. The audience learns Taylor's great-grandfather was a full-blooded Cherokee when she shows buttons carved from elk horn by Native Americans."

Hay algo más colorista para expresar esto en español, además de "relatar historias o cuentos?" Porque es bastante colorista en inglés.

Gracias!
