Yes, many people sent me this bit and Ellie is a sweetheart - it's rather an honor of mine to be able to make & give them something handmade that I pour my heart into. Their appreciation in Helsinki really made a difference for me.
And additionally - so happy I was able to meet you and
@Lyyli !!! I am still amazed that I didn't even feel stressed or worried about crafts this time despite setting personal "record" at crafts given to skaters (23 flower crowns, 1 tiara, 1 headband and a top hat), despite having to make 11 crowns on my way or on site. I did everything I planned, brought half or crafting store with me and had a blast. Seeing skaters' faces lighting up seeing my crafts erased my tiredness and doubts (I was particularly stoked seeing Roman, Stephen and Yuma put their crowns on their talented heads in KnC, with additional win being Carolina giving it kind of "seal of approval").
Ellie's words mean everything to me who is never 100% confident about my crafts. Plus Emilea's words post-FD that she was wondering of she'll get one this time as she was seeing others receiving them and that she keeps them as "collection" on the wall...Those words are really meaningful to me, especially facing seldom comments that I'm vain and I have head too big about this or that my crafts are landing in the trash
