Today has ended up being quite a landmark day for me...in a hugely positive way!!!
We finally found out, after almost 4 months, that Birmingham city council has granted us planning permission to turn this building in Moseley....
......into a retail unit where a fantastic new fabric and haberdashery shop and craft workshop/studio will be created. We plan to bring all the best and most gorgeous fabric and haberdashery supplies to Birmingham and inspire and teach budding crafters new skills in a wide range of short courses and workshops.
I am now dedicating myself full time to the project from the renovation of the building to the business planning and set up.
Today was my first day on the Business Enterprise Course with the Princes Trust Charity who are giving me so much help and support...and it has been great to network with all the other entrepreneurs too. So all in all...a great Monday!
