Life as a perfectionist
I changed my banner. And again. And again.
I think I might be satisfied with the final result. But I might change my mind tomorrow. I looked at my banner at my laptop. And at the computer of a friend…it’s colors look different on every computer. So my feelings about this one change with the screens I see it on.
A thing that bothers me too is that my little Kokeshi girl doesn’t look into the camera. She does that on every picture I take of her. But in the end, she’s a cheeky little girl and that’s exactly what I like about her, so I decided to keep it this way. A huge thing for someone like me ;-)
Sometimes I wish I could be less of a perfectionist. It tires me that nothing less than perfect is good enough. Funny thing is, the only one I demand perfectness from is myself. I love things with a bit of a rough edge, isn’t that just crazy? I love people with cozy, untidy homes, where you can sit on the couch and drink tea without feeling like Hyacinth Bucket’s neighbour.
Maybe I’ll loosen up one day. When I’m old and wise. Can’t wait for that to happen. Lucky enough, I’m not a sociopath ;-)
(The cute elephantcard is made by Jessica Nielsen and was sent to me by dear Diana of HomeMadeHappiness)
I think a lot of people recognize this. And on the other hand, when I made a mess in my house it is OK, but when the hubby makes a mess in the house I need him to clean up immediately. Wonder where that comes from. Control-freak maybe? I also think I am a better driver, lol
But I love this banner! I envy the card..
Hij/zij? -de banner- is echt heel erg leuk, ik ben voor, in het geval je m weer wil veranderen.
Ik herken je verhaal over het Goed willen doen, volgens je eigen norm, kan heel vermoeiend zijn..
Succes met het Laten Gaan..
Oh my do I love this banner!!! I used to have a monekey like that one, but it dissapeared :( I love all elements and the lighting and color is perfect! (maybe I would have left out the pieces of fabric… but that’s my perfectionist inside…)
Lovely ladies, thanks so much for the kind words! I’m happy I’m not alone in this perfectionist thingy :-)
Cool banner! Love the elephant and the elephant card (you must have gotten it from a very sweet person ;-))
The monkey is great, I’ve been searching for one like him in thriftshops all over Europe and Australia, but haven’t found it yet :-(
Nooo you’re not alone on this perfectionism! I won’t ever be satisfied with my website design, with my blog header, with my working table…
Sometimes I wish I was more simple!
Cheers !! ***
