First Helvi My condolences for your loss, how sad for you! Second the story is simply amazing and sooo funny and can see why the inspiration hit you to create this wonderful little flies! They are done with such love and skill and would never have guessed they were made from acorns! How creative are you!! The smiling and dancing flies made my day sooo much brighter as I hope they do everyone's who reviews your mini sculptures! I truly wish I had a 6 to give you. Outstanding creation and bet your sister-in-law and brother always smile or maybe laugh when they see the flies dancing just for them! I am soo glad you took the step and made the trip. Without that where would the dancing flies be?? You are too funny and full of love Helvi! Bless you dear lady!

Thank you for your words of condolence my Friend, they are very special coming from you even though my mother's passing was 8 years ago. IN My eyes you're the one who is a dear lady! Thanks for feeling this deserves 6 stars I am truly honored you feel that way. I'm SO glad you enjoyed both my little acorn flies and the story behind them. I'm very happy that I decided to take that trip to Maine. I still get to enojy two trips there every year when they open and close the cabin for the season. BY the way Sange tells me the two of you had quite an experience with ants and losing the power. She told me to ask you about it. LOL BLessings My Friend and Happy Valentine's Day! :o) Helvi

Your welcome Helvi and it was truly a joy to read you wonderful and fun story. Aww your kindness makes me blush Helvi!
Our story, well apparently the ants built a nest in one of the main power transformer and it took out 5 blocks of power. Sange, being the sweet lady she is had glow sticks which she handed out with her brother to all the people in the complex, incase they had no candles or flashlights. The power was out for hours and poor Sange figured she was starving me and was not able to cook because of the power being out. Living in the country we have power outages quite frequently so really did not bother me. Poor Sange was devastated but in the end the power was restored and we had a wonderful chicken salad on the porch! Took a crane and 5 trucks full of techs to repair the failed transformer. Apparently the ants nest was HUGE! That is the short story about the power failure, but one day may write a book on my trip to Florida! l.o.l. Sange is Sange and can't ask for a better friend! She is the most genuine human being I have ever met!

Hug that sister in law and congratulations for finding ways to work through that anxiety! Your first creation is wonderful and represents so much in your life. That alone makes it perfect. You have some fun talent, keep it up. There is beauty even in flies!
