I’m so, so sorry. It’s heartbreaking to have someone cut you down and try to take something away from you – or belittle such a huge victory. And it is a huge accomplishment, what you’ve done, and I totally understand how much more it means to you because it’s something that actually “went right”. I would tell you to stop ruminating but since that’s my second hobby next to crochet, I’d be a hypocrite if I did.All I will say is that I think you’re fabulous.
