Procrastination does not win the day

As all who know me are aware, I procrastinate.  I have always procrastinated.  And I most likely always will.  I think it's because I enjoy the adrenaline rush when things are getting down to the wire and I have only the wee hours of the evening to complete a project.  Well, maybe not since I procrastinate in everything I do whether there's a deadline or not.  Either way, when I complete a project that is not for work or for which I am not held accountable by another person, it is a major accomplishment for me.  One which I achieved last night when I finally finished a crocheted monkey I stated in December with plans to give it to one of my little nephews (as opposed to one of my big ones) for Christmas.  Needless to say, the monkey was not given for Christmas.  Or his birthday just a little over a month later.  But now!?!?  Now, it is done.  And I am pleased.  As far as crafts go, it is only the third that I have ever completed.

The next project will be the spider that was supposed to be for the other little nephew.  And then, if I have time after getting the fence for the chickens up, making my raised beds for lettuce and herbs and strawberries, and a little spring cleaning/repairs, I may drag out the bedspread/tablecloth I started almost sixteen years ago when my baby was a baby and finish it.  If I'm lucky, I'll have it finished in 10 years or so and can give it to her for a wedding present.
