I'm working on a wooden craft for my sister's baby, due in 2 months. And I keep putting off the more difficult parts because I'm afraid of screwing up. I feel like it has to be perfect so now I'm afraid it'll be a project that never gets finished. I'm so frustrated with myself.

i know what u mean, i need to overcome this tye of thing myself. i think imperfectly done is better than not finished, but i know it's hard to let go. i get stuck on cleaning, of all stupid things. :p
i know it stinks. sorry you're getting frustrated.

This is part of the reason I gave up my art. I couldnt stand it not being what I wanted it to be. And there is only so many times you can fix a sketch etc.

i am in the middle of reading a book called:
Too Perfect
When being in control gets out of control
by Allan E. Mallinger, M.D.
and Jeannette DeWyze

it's pretty good so far, you might like it

its perfect if it serves its purpose even if it has flaws(if that made sense)
