How do I get myself in these predicaments???

Ok, so Mom's birthday was yesterday. I am planning on having lunch with her and Dad on Sunday to celebrate. So why do I always get these "great" ideas at the last minute and drive myself insane trying to accomplish them. Last Christmas it was a sweater, this year a shawl, both hand-knitted, and neither one completed on time. Atleast the shawl was finished except for weaving in the ends and blocking. The sweater was missing a sleeve, not assembled or blocked. So, what am I planning for her birthday? A suit. Yes, that's right, a suit. Well I have the pieces pinned onto the fabric. That's a start right? lol Guess I should probably go cut it out, but I'm dreading that because my cutting table is at the other house, so I'm going to be either in the floor with the cats, or bending over the dining room table. Neither of which sounds appealing to me right now. I'll post pictures as soon as I can get somewhere with it.
