I wish my personality was more like yours! I do settle for good enough, sometimes because I get frustrated at my lack of being able to make it perfect, no matter what I try. I hate it at the time, but after finishing, usually see that the problem area really isn't that bad and that no one will notice unless I point it out. For years, I did not do the same crafts as my mom and sister because their projects were always so fabulous and "perfect". It took me a long time to realize it's not a competition! Now I can enjoy my work so much more and celebrate the new things I have learned or say to myself, "OK, I know to do this another way next time". I've worked very hard at learning to accept less than perfect but it is a struggle, and probably always will be. All perfectionism does is drive you crazy-- and I'm crazy enough! :)
