What happens when it just doesn't turn out like you hoped?

I am in a predicament- I have a swap coming up and the piece just isn't what I had in my mind when I laid it out on my computer. To my credit, I did try a couple of new techniques, one worked, and the other, well, not so much. I am on a deadline and I don't quite know what to do. The piece itself isn't bad necessarily, just not what I had envisioned. Do I send it, knowing that everything I create I won't love, or do I ask for an extension and create something else? I have gotten some feedback from friends and family who think it looks great, but my inner perfectionist, OCD, and self-conscious teenager is out waving her arms, doing cartwheels and generally being obnoxious, fingers on either side of her mouth saying "Neener, neener, neener."

So there it is. I feel better having said it aloud, and I am hoping for the best!

Until later, keep sewing and creating.
