ANGRY
today has been nothing but betrayal !!! i have crocheted christmas stockings (my design) for 20ish years now and a friend wanted me to help her learn to make the heel on one she had started. so i did. stupid me! i told her long ago and again on sunday that she could only make them for her family that it was my design and i didn't want anyone else selling them. but then she calls today with a long story about how the bus compound (i drove a school bus for 13 years) needed more stockings because they hired more people. supposedly a different lady not involved with either of us made 2 last year for $50each now my "FRIEND" is selling her first one for a mutual friend and she said today that the bus compound will pay her $25each, and SHE PLANS ON DOING IT!!! what part of YOU CAN ONLY DO IT FOR YOUR FAMILY does one not understand!!! i told her i was going to call the bus compound in the morning and she said not to stir up problems for her. make me think TRUST not anymore. I will call them first thing in the morning and see what their side of the story is...especially how much they are going to pay her. i don't believe she will only be getting half of what the other lady made. then to top it off she tells me that the bus shop doesn't send the stocking home to those that leave but unstinting their name and put the new name on. WHATS WITH THAT!!!! can you tell yet that i am ANGRY!!!!!!!!!! what do i do with this situation.....there is nothing i can do about having my pattern with her (liar)........i think that she has lost this friendship over this. 20 years...now betrayed.....

Yeah, she\'s lying through her teeth to you or, as Judge Judy likes to say, \"Don\'t pee on me leg and tell me that it\'s raining!\" You need to have a release form that details what those who use your pattern can and cannot do. Have them sign and all that with a notary! Lesson learned. No more cock-ups, OK? Hugs. Neesie
I went to get my stuff back and I was again promised they wouldn\'t be sold other than the three she said if she didn\'t make them for the shop someone else would so I am ok with it she offered to pay me part what she makes off of them so now as sick as it makes me I am stuck with the decision I made I still don\'t trust her
