In my opinion, comments like this are mean. You don't think so?

she's a coward and would rather slink away in shame

Again proof of this person's character! I find it comical that she asked for her thread to be closed and didn't apologize or comment on what she had done! What baffles me is did she think people wouldn't find out?? Just bizarre...

Connie is also so classy and kind that she did not out this person but others did it for her! If it were me it would have been all out war! Connie has earned the respect, friendship and loyalty she has been shown today...this other person has not to say the least. And no one has been unkind...just brutally honest which is a trait this other person obviously doesn't possess.

Mary, maybe that would be true if you were involved but you weren't. This is between Cory and Connie and I agree 100% that Connie is classy and kind but you know what, so is Cory and to make her out to be some kind of villain is just ridiculous. The fact of the matter is that I think Connie does great work and is a real sweetheart. But Cory is to. Do things always have to be black and white? Is there never any grey area. I also know that Cory has been sewing on her own for a year, posting her creations on other sites alot. I was one of the people encouraging her as I would encourage most of the people on here. Many people were saying that they'd love to buy one of them and have been asking Cory. And I also think that when you look at a picture on a website, all of those dresses look pretty much the same. Has anyone purchased one of each and actually compared? I think there is enough business to go around and I don't think Cory ever was secretive about her creations. And by the way, we rarely ever post privately so all my posts are out there for people to read either here or the other sites. And do you really know Cory? For you to say that she hasn't earned any respect friendship or loyalty is not only untrue, it's completly unfair....
I stand by my earlier comment, I expected more from, of all people, you Mary.

If Connie has a reason to be upset, that's fine. I just don't see how everyone is saying how she won't come on this thread when after reading the way things are written, I wouldn't either.

I don't know how close Connie & the other person are/were but I hope questions can be answered and a civilized conversation or dialogue can take place.

Connie, you do do beautiful work and I'm sorry this is happening. I really do hope this can be worked out

Thanks ladies! That's just how I feel but you guys say it so much better!

Where was the name calling? I just read the thread and sure didnt see it. I did see some assumptions made about Connie and her intentions in starting this thread

I just watched an older movie titled Calendar Girls and I highly recommend it to each and every one of you.
Its stars are 50(ish) and dealing with day to day struggles just like many of us. The underlining story line is Friendship.
I cried during this movie and while watching it thought of all the wonderful friends I have made here through the years. Friendship. It is the foundation for which Love is built and oh so precious.
Now, I mentioned that I cried through this movie and perhaps that is because I just completed another round of chemo and my levels are just completely whacky. They fill me with so many steroids so that my body will not reject the poison that they are pumping through my veins. Hopefully this will put me in a longer remission this time to enjoy the Friendships I hold so dear. Right now I just hope that it provides me more time to meet the Friends who brighten my days and are so dear to me. I mention this because I have not been online here much and this is the reason why.

Recently I have been saddened to read of the loss of a Friendship. I have personally chosen not to reply to the threads posted ( until now ) because my heart just breaks with the loss of it all. I know each of these ladies so well and my heart is desperately hoping that it was all a misunderstanding. Anyway, what could I possibly post that will take away the pain ? You might ask how such close and loving Friendships can develop when you might never have met the other in person? Well, all I can say is, come to one of the Meet Ups and witness for yourself. Fellowship is strong and alive on this forum.... which leads to Friendship .... which leads to strong bonds of Love and Family. When something happens to break that bond it is painful and not only for the persons involved , but to those who love and cherish them.

The Friendships I have made along the way here have been of everlasting joy to me and I treasure every beautiful Friend I have met and those I hope to meet in the future. Friendship. It is the root of Love and isn't that just the greatest Gift we could possibly be given?
I pray with all my heart that my friends understand why I have chosen to reply in my own way.
Friends. I do cherish you all and I will continue to pray that this pain can be healed and hoping with all my might that it was just a misunderstanding.

I have just came back and read updates here on others postings, I hope this thread doesn't go in another direction.

It wasn't Connie's intent to disrespect the op as an individual, that is not what Connie would ever do, she only wanted to bring out in the open what happened. I can fully understand Connie's feelings, unendlessly helping someone else even by sending her own original pattern in regular mail, then spent many long hours on the phone to help the op in learning to sew with the understanding that the op wanted to sew for her own furbabies.

I know Connie and fully believe that if the op had gone about starting her own business in another way that this posting by Connie would not be here in the first place. One's own ideas and how one goes about it is one thing but to totally go about it by doing what someone else does is another.

Although I have never spoken with the op personally, only through her postings and pm's I have felt respect for her, I do believe she is a lady that has feelings and does care for others. I understand her closing the other thread and I don't look at her doing so in a negative way. If she has read the postings here as she did on the forum she started, I truely believe she most likely is disheartened to how in starting her own doggie attire business came to be, hopefully it would have been started in a different way.

Knowing Connie she is a lady of love and caring and her values in life are far exceed the monitary value of the $ a friendship with another member here at YT that she tried to help has been severed and that is a real loss not only to the op but also to Connie.

I won't be coming back to read or post again on this thread, feel best not too.

The value of friendship is one to be honored and respected, we are so blessed with it in life,
it is a treasure and the friendships we have made here personally I am so greatful for. Hope this all comes out okay.

Wishing you all a nice day,
Hugs, Patti and Jack

Janie thank you always for your words, you are so greatly loved by each and everyone blessed to be in your life.
Love and hugs,

Honestly I think this thread started out bc Connie was truly hurt!! She was seeking comfort and If the same thing happened to me I would be hurt as well.
When a friend betrays our trust it is a painful thing and sometimes we just need a shoulder to cry on.

I think if we truly search our hearts we will find the truth and the truth will set us free!!

I have done business with Connie and she was a kind honest down to earth person and I could tell by her character that she would not set out to judge or do wrong doing to anyone.
I just think her heart was broken and for that I am so sorry bc some people seem to judge her motives for this thread. It was a thread asking for some support for her broken heart.

With that said if you are here on this thread to comfort Connie than do so, but if you are here to judge her feelings I think you should keep your comments to yourself bc it would be like rubbing salt in her wound and noone needs that when they have been hurt.

I totally agree!! It was appalling that people accused Connie of starting this thread for sales.

Cory's friends have come to her defense but only Cory and Connie know what happened. I do question Cory for not speaking out if she believes none of this is true. It is just natural to defend yourself when you have been wronged.
