Interesting. I find carrots are usually keep pretty long. Have these been around for a while? Looks like you put them to good use, though.

Usually we can keep carrots all winter so this was a surprise...I pulled these LAST (?) month or the month before...they were a different variety than I usually have but I don't think that should have made a difference.
 
AND...they can do a surprise for me...AND I can get my larger paintings professional photographed there too so will have to get them together and take over.
 
Noah's Ark. Nice. I hear Steven Spielberg wanted the next Indiana Jones movie to be about searching for a huge boat. It would called "Raiders of Noah's Ark". George Lucas rejected it, though. He thought it was all wet and would drown at the box office.
 
Well I've quilted the table topper. It involved some swearing, though not as much as would be expected from me. I did a trip to Fabricland as a break and ran into someone I knew, which was a bonus. I was also able to get more fabric for another project. I had not gotten enough so was happy to see it there.

I think they're slightly different skills. I'll fiddle with a sleeve, doing some easing and making do (mind you, more of a costume maker than a true seamstress - I was the family "make the choir blouse for your sister", "figure out this dance pattern for the other sister", "can you turn this into something Hallowe-en-ish?"). The precision of quilting belongs to my precise sister, in a direct line from my precise father. If she says, 25 mm she means that, and not a fraction more or less. She's a little frightening.
 
I was raised in a family with a healthy (unhealthy?) dose of OCD. While I don't find it rules me personally, I am capable of channelling it when necessary. Oh, and perfectionism too. :cool:

From a long line of those type on one side and a long line of "just do your best" on the other...I'm more likely to go with - "it's good enough"

I've learned "good enough" through the years. Thank goodness. My version of perfectionism was to not even try it it couldn't be perfect. I gave up that self-defeating attitude long ago.
 
I am mostly just good enough but for some reason I get perfectionist about writing. If I was less picky, I might have managed more than 4 entries in the latest competition (we could enter up to 10). But for anything longer than a few hundred words, it takes me days just to get all the wording and story elements to my satisfaction, even if I have the spelling and grammar perfect.
 
I was perfectionist about writing (and most things) because mom was a teacher and nitpicked everything to death :P When I read about the spelling errors in important documents from around the world (American Declaration of Independence, Magna Carta, etc) I decided I didn't need to worry so much and a typo or two in the paper (or anything else I do) gives the nitpickers of the world something to do and keep them happy
 
I just don't give adam about writing perfectly ... given how the words fly! Like chickens they can drop anywhere ...

Falla-Ci ... Ci being like Aye-mon! Yes it is ...

Not really sure what you mean. My cousin went out of province for in patient treatment. It was a rough go before he got accepted and it's a daily struggle not something to be channeled.
