I was a nervous wreck as a child, stuttered, blinked my eyes rapidly, continuously, jerked my head/neck constantly, and cracked my jaw till it was sore... ALL at the same time. And I went into the hospital with a bleeding ulcer by the 5th grade. I grew up on Librium 25mg four times a day. And most people could not tell that I was taking anything. I was a mess. Then the Doc finally convinced me that NOTHING was worth all that! And he was so right! So I stopped talking, and so stopped stuttering. Got a few whippings from daddy on that one. lol And the pills helped a lot with all the rest. Slowed them down, and stopped most for long periods at a time. Now I don't fret over spilled milk, it just ain't that important. So yes, I have learned my lesson well, as the song says. lol I easily turn the other cheek, and walk away. God is good!

Comment by Bonnie Willey on July 30, 2014 at 9:45am: And a very good morning to you, Goreti, my dear. This explains why your work, be it a flower, or a dragon, is always superb. You care what it looks like, and strive for perfection in all things 'cake'.

It might just be because I started all this so late, but I make it, look at it, if I really want it for a certain project, I might even make it a second time,...BUT, I am usually satisfied enough with the first one, and don't worry about it too much! (or not at all-lol).

I usually will try anything I see, at least once..., then I am satisfied, and move on to the next thing. Maybe I am afraid of running out of time to do it all! lol

Remember that my philosophy is that I would rather try/do a little bit of everything, than a lot of just a few things. lol I think most would just call that 'laid back, while a few would even add them words, just plain lazy! lol Hee-hee-hee I am definitely NOT a perfectionist, but LOVE to see it in others!

Comment by Goreti on July 30, 2014 at 8:34am: Bonnie, 99% of the flowers are do I have no need for them. I have them on display in my china cabinet. I'm running out of room so I'm going to be throwing some out. Any of them that don't make the grade, out they go.

Comment by Sandra Smiley on July 29, 2014 at 11:19am: That's is all I do, as well, Bonnie, projects for family and friends. I think that is the main reason I wanted to enter the fair cake, to make something a lot bigger and of my own choosing than what I can do otherwise. Of course, the cake will be fake!

Comment by Bonnie Willey on July 29, 2014 at 10:49am: Thanks Sandra, I have to admit, it was one of the better ones in class that night. Ha Ha Ha And I have not made one since. Have had no need to. Remember, I have only done family projects.

Comment by Sandra Smiley on July 29, 2014 at 10:44am: Your lily is beautiful, Bonnie, especially for your first one.
