If there were a town called Procrastinationville, I would be its mayor. As a working mother of three I'm always running to meet a deadline — whether it be personal or professional — usually pushing things to the very last second.

Mother's Day is this weekend, but believe it or not there's still time to whip up a quick handmade gift for your favorite mama! Here are a few of my favorite quick but thoughtful projects to knit or crochet.

If you have your heart on something a bit bigger for mom, I recommend my friend Shannon's Fancy Shells Wrap (shown to your right). It's light, lacy and perfect for a summer on the beach! You may not be able to finish it by Sunday, but a bit of yarn in a small box with a bow is a great way to tell her that something special will soon be coming her way!

Cast on 31 stitches, follow the simple lace pattern and there you have it: Scar(f)y Spice.
