So, even though I'm a MIL myself, I say just go on and do what you want to do anyway, and keep peace in your heart and head.
It's the best revenge!!
I'm a MIL and my DIL is my best friend. We made a promise to each other way before the marriage that we would be honest with each other and try not to hurt each other's feelings. Sad when MIL's can't see things that way. Your MIL probably couldn't find it in her heart to compliment you on your fine work, so a pseudo-insult was the best she could find. Don't lower yourself to her level, keep mum and pray that your situation is only temporary. The day will come when she will see what a wonderful person you really are.
