It's just my perfectionism screaming at me that it should have been this or that!! Sometimes I listen and it is a good thing and sometimes I have learned to ignore what I can't do anything about.
My mom always points out my mistakes and asks why so I get it honestly.
It used to hurt my feelings when I did something for her or showed her something I did and she pointed out the flaws but I now understand it is her way of trying to make me better at what I do.
I have this standard in the back of my head because of her that says this is not acceptable until it is the best you can do.
It has translated in my improving my work to the standard I have today.
I tend to be a slob but in my work I have developed a perfectionist attitude which helps to make my work always improving.
Just don't stop by unexpectedly and expect a clean house!! I am the world's worst housekeeper!! My husband has finally given in and does the dishes and the laundry!! He loves doing it so we are both happy!!
I get tunnel vision when I am working on quilting or designing!!
