O.k., so this is about more than just the "normal" blog-stalking..it's about "etsy-stalking"too! So, I love to look at all the different shops that etsy offers, I follow a few friends who have their own, and am always inspired by what I see and find. So, is it bad..wrong of me to take that inspiration and do it my self? I am NOT talking about totally jacking what someone has posted for sale and try and sell my own..I mean like I see something for sale that I love, and think I could make myself, for myself..or o.k. let's be honest here for my chickens...is that stealing? I have no intention of reproducing anything exactly, I would only lke to take the "idea" and run with it!
For example, I saw these AMAZING applicade towels for sale, they were like $23.00, now maybe with 1 stretching for 2..it *might* be doable...for me at least..but I have 5..that's alot for towels! So, I got to thinking...what if I got some oober nice, soft towels and did it myself for my chickens?? I know that at the very least my little ones would love it, I think that depending on what I picked fabric wise my older ones would be ok with it, and best of all...there is not "towel-confusion" while at the pool, friends house or where ever!
So, back to my original question...is it wrong? I don't think it's really going to stop me either way..I was just more curious as to see what the "masses" thought! I honestly feel that as long as I am not trying to sell them for a profit, and if/when I were asked I gave the appropriate credit..I don't see the problem. Isn't the purest form of flattery to be copied?

Not wrong at all. Go for it mama! I made a few 15 years ago so I doubt she invented the idea and patented it. Go ahead and sell soem too! I made a few for my younger siblings (at my mothers request) last year.
