Editor’s note 8/7/2014: I am enjoying your comments, keep them coming as I read each and every one. It’s a balm to my soul that I am not the only one with a stack of UFOs. Yet, I have to agree with several of you who have expressed the idea that procrastination is part of the creative process. Amen!

I have some things I procrastinated on for so long, that I don’t remember ever starting them or working on them. In other words, I don’t remember working on them at all, but I would know my stitching from the back from anyone else’s in counted cross stitch. I have no idea of starting them or working on them, but when I moved I found a few stitcheries that I don’t remember buying or working on at all. Think of all the things I’ve given away that I don’t remember!
l decided a month before My son’s birthday to have a DIY party…He ultimately ended up with one small”family” get together and another party a month late for his friends. It turned out to be the time of his life And Everyone loved all of My DIY that they asked me to help them with their Kids party…I have yet to mention that I was a month behind schedule.
My darling mom is retiring in less than a year and this would be a gift for her as she contemplates FINALLY having time to quilt and sew.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, I don’t have to look too far back for my last procrastination…Just last week in fact. We went to an out-of-state wedding and I finished their wedding quilt at 11:05pm the night before we left…whew!
What don’t I procrastinate on?? Whenever I get an order for a bracelet, for some reason, I don’t start on it until the day before I promise to have it done! Grumble.
