You know, as I have been reading this thread, it has caused me to do some thinking. I have realized that in spite of the disclaimers, I am actually very proud of the things I have made. I have felt obligated to point out the errors and problems because I was raised to believe that pride in oneself was sinful. What foolishness that is!!! When I have worked hard and done my best, I have every right to feel proud of my results, regardless of it's imperfections. Being proud of our efforts is not saying we are perfect or don't need improvement. It is only saying I did my best, look how it came out!!
So Melinda, I'm with you!! I'm proud of the things I make! And I love how my mistakes lead to creativeness that other people appreciate.
