Yes it's true I came up with that pattern. NO its not. She has an eye for crafts that I have never had the ability to see. I don't understand it or how people can put images in their minds like that. that's why we call them Artist I guess
it is a warm large quilt
I admire people who can do that. She is an artist! Crafts of any sort are not something that I have ever been good at.
I am the type of person who would ware clothing that don’t match. I just don’t see it.
Its the same with me with colors as far as painting goes.
She definitely has a talent there
I think I am too ocd. I need everything to be in perfect order and if I can't accomplish that I would rather not even begin it. And I have learned from experience that my craft projects seldom turn out as perfectly as I envision them. They end up unfinished and stuffed away in drawers somewhere.
You and me both. I can build anything and have but the small little art things better if you left me out
I have had to learn to not be such a perfectionist otherwise, as you say, projects end up stuffed away. Now I choose projects that are more easy going :) knitting with wool is perfect for that - it's elasticity means it is very accommodating. If I make a mistake, I have a look and think how noticeable it will be - usually, it's hardly visible, and I keep knitting 😊 hope you get to love some of your putaway projects.
That perfectionism gets in the way of a lot of things! 'If I can't do it perfectly, I simply won't do it at all'. Good for you with your knitting errors! I have gotten better with that in a lot of areas. My best friend knits and she has made me several absolutely gorgeous pairs of socks. And I've noticed that the very first thing she does when she gives them to me is point out the tiny little mistakes that she made while making them. I would have never seen the mistakes and hardly could view them as a 'mistake' at all ... her work is exquisite.
I have recently watched it happening with my daughter when she tries to bake something and if it doesn't turn out to her exacting standards she proclaims 'I can't cook' and gives up entirely and doesn't try again. I guess that is something many of us have to work through.
Yes :) We have to be kind to ourselves :)
