Thanks for this link! It really puts things into perspective, doesn't it? Nothing I make is perfect. I strive to at least make it look good. My MIL is the most pickiest, critical person I know BUT. . . everything I have ever gifted her gets Oohs and Ahhs and she just keeps telling me over and over, "you do such beautiful work". She proudly shows off everything to all of her local friends (who can be on the snobby side too). She mails pictures to her sister and her friends that live out of state. I can always see my flaws but that is because I know they are there and that I just didn't feel like ripping out that crooked seam or I didn't want to fix it so I didn't lose my points. I know that no matter how flawed I see my projects, someone else just sees it for what it is: a beautifully made item made by me especially for them!
