I feel you : when you rush things, you always get the feeling that you can do better, just need to take the time to work on it (happens to me all the time, like daily :-D). But the imperfections gives them charm (and I don't even see any by the way). From my perpective : Simple amazing! I remember how happy I was when I was just able to make sand hold up together using a bucket :-)
