The shop has now been open six days and so far everyone has loved the place.
I can't believe that this is all mine. I am so proud of what we have achieved and it can only get better.

The Grand Opening of Needlecraft Corner, Worksop
Well the day finally arrived and my lovely lovely shop opened at 9 o'clock on the 4th February 2014.
We had a very busy day which ended with our first Knit and Natter.
The shop has now been open six days and so far everyone has loved the place.
I can't believe that this is all mine. I am so proud of what we have achieved and it can only get better.

My New Shop
I am now able to reveal the reason that I have been so elusive lately. As I explained I have been trying to get my website off the ground and this has proved to be much more time consuming than I thought it would be. I still have lots of photos to do but the bare bones are in place bar a few minor tweaks.
However at about the same time I received a phone call from a lovely gentleman who I know from working in insurance who owns several properties in Worksop. He explained that he had a tenant who wanted to move out and he thought that the shop would be ideal for me. I had mentioned that I was looking for a place back in March but he didn't have anything for me at that time.
Anyway I went and had a look and hey presto I now have the keys to my own place.
This is how it looks at the moment so it needs a bit of a make over but I am so excited. I can't wait to get started.
I handed my notice in at work on Monday last and am waiting for a leaving date. So far I only have the official one which is the 10th January 2014. I have a 2 month notice period which is proving to be a problem as I need to open the shop as soon as possible. Anyway that is just a small obstacle and it will be overcome.
Everyone keeps saying how brave I am but it feels so right and I think that if I don't take the plunge now I will regret it for the rest of my life.
We are going today to take more photos together with measurements and we can then brainstorm a few ideas. I don't think it has properly sunk in yet. I'm being very calm and I am just trying to soak it all in. I don't want to get all flustered and stressed, I just want to enjoy every minute of it.
