A Cancer Scare

Hello everyone!

I'm sure that you are wondering why I haven't posted in a while, well, I was in the hospital. I had a little breast cancer scare. Everything is fine, it ended up being a very complicated cyst that they had to work on in one and calcified cysts in the other. Anyway, they did what they needed to do and I'm free from the "white coats"! My doctor (who is fabulous!) stated that it is caffeine which promotes the growth of breast cysts. I may be writing about this experience in more depth at a future date, but right now I'm decompressing from the stress factor.
In the meantime, I was also going through the process of enrolling in college to get my associates degree for medical billing and coding. So while all this health scare was going on, I was dealing with admissions, financial aid, etc. etc.! Everything is all set now and I begin classes July 6th. None of this however will change the fact that
"Covered With Love" goes on with business as usual!! This is where my heart is, and doing this work is the most rewarding of all!

It's Against the Law to Steal! - Pattern Copyright Laws

*

There has been a lot of wonderment concerning just what the law is about the copyright for craft patterns online. In order to clear up some of the fog for you to protect your designs, as well as myself, I thought I would put up this information. It is as follows.

Patterns created by Lee Biggs, copyright 2008 are free for your own personal (not-for-profit, non-commercial) use only. This means that you can make items from this pattern as many times as you wish for yourself or for gifts or for charity, but you may NOT sell items made from these patterns. That also means that if items made using these patterns are seen online for sale, the offenders can be prosecuted. If others would like to have the pattern directions, please give them the URL for the pattern, (ex: http://coveredwithlovecharity.blogspot.com/) so that they may come here for themselves. You will see patterns at "Covered With Love" which are copyrighted by other designer, and those are listed by links which will take you to their site, abiding by the law. If you'd like to find out more see the links below.

Copyright Myths Explained - www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html ... U.S. Government Copyright Office - http://www.loc.gov/copyright ... Copyright Law Awareness: Patterns that a designer chooses to place on the Internet as free patterns are protected by the same copyright laws as patterns that are purchased. It is illegal to sell or even give away for free reproduced copies of any copyrighted pattern without the written permission of the copyright-holder.

Thank you for abiding by the law!
