Dear Rene,

    You're absolutely right. Many times I have made a "piece" but am not
    quite happy about one aspect of it. I can't seem to leave well alone
    so tinker with it and invariably end up completely ruining it and
    having to start again! My daughter is constantly telling me off for
    it "leave it alone mom - you know you'll only ruin it and have to
    start over!" Perhaps I should listen to her wise words and stop being
    so picky.
