Strange b/c I'm not a perfectionist in most things but when making a gift I'm a bit overboard.
You sound like me I too am very particular. My loved ones don't look for perfection either even if I tell them that I did a mistake they just overlook it and love it anyway. Especially my sister and mom. Well my daughters also. Alot of times if I don't get something just right like I want it or the way it exactly is suppose to be I use the ripper until I am almost happy with it. I really hope I out grow this because sometimes it takes me alot longer than it should to make something.
