It is a sad fact that as well as creative, skilled imaginative craftsmen who can create the feel of a time and place, this hobby also attracts a large number of sad obsessive types who can think of nothing better than to find some small details to nit pick. She really isn't worth spending any time worrying about.
Please don't take any notice, simply say "poor thing, she can't help it" and carry on being creative, skilled, imaginative, instructive and funny. This would be a poorer place without you and your support and encouragement to every one on this forum.
Best wishes
Chris
