Three times in the past year someone (a magazine) has taken the design, changed it a little, added a few bits and voila claimed it as their own. At first I was upset but not so much now. As long as you know that you will always have fresh and creative ideas you will always be ahead of those who choose to copy you. It is annoying but look at Apple. Apple is an Innovative company, cutting edge designs that are copied over and over again by others. Still Apple is growing and will always be seen as the best and the designer of their original products. Same with your patterns, you will always be seen as the creator of your designs and others who copy will eventually be found out for what they are - cheats and thieves. Best to just continue to carry on as you have done by sharing your next design which looks fabulous !Gingham Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418024533460841616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-26877703792692498272011-07-01T18:37:17.585+02:002011-07-01T18:37:17.585+02:00It's very cool of you to write this post becau...It's very cool of you to write this post because, even though I'm just new to sharing my crafty stuff on my blog, but I have the same exact worries. I don't want to behave as if I think my work is sooooo amazing that everyone would jump to rip it off but, on the other hand, I do have some ideas that I *think* are unique I would like to start selling as soon as they're ready. A little part of me is too worried to share them before they're ready, on the chance that someone with plagiaristic tendencies would happen by my little blog.<br /><br />So thanks for posting this, it makes me feel a little less paranoid and also makes me want to share more, and soon. Plus, we got to see your circus bear and he's pretty much the cutest thing ever!Juliehttp://whosgotthebutton.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-14666301256099667732011-07-01T17:12:11.541+02:002011-07-01T17:12:11.541+02:00Thanks all for your kind comments! @Rachel your co...Thanks all for your kind comments! @Rachel your comment "I can tell a Follow the White Bunny pattern when I see it" made my day! :)nicole followthewhitebunnyhttp://blog.followthewhitebunny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-23077496117186526632011-07-01T15:02:59.890+02:002011-07-01T15:02:59.890+02:00You have your own style, though, that is uniquely ...You have your own style, though, that is uniquely you. I can tell a Follow the White Bunny pattern when I see it. I don't know if that's any consolation, but...I don't know. I say don't let the copycats keep you from posting whatever you want whenever you want. Love the bear, by the way. I love that he seems not to have it all quite figured out, either.

It's a bit upsetting when someone takes credit for what you've done.
