I still try to have my points and seams where they should be but no longer beat myself over the head about "the little things." Thing is, most people don't even notice those little things, whether they're perfect or slightly crooked. I don't enter contests and am the first to admit my sewing isn't perfect . . . and am a lot happier for it!

Like I tell my DGD, strive for perfection but be happy with well-done.
Neesie that is the perfect outlook - I hope i can learn to be more like that!
