New HELD Store?!
Okay some good things are happening.
We're looking into opening a store this November maybe earlier. Our favorite places to consider but it depends largely on what we find, availability. It has to be big enough to set up part of the workshop in. I think it would be nifty if we could have a work/hangout/shop/have tea/plan kind of joint. So NE Alberta is the sweet spot where our old place was, we loved that area. The other cool option for us would be SE 12th Vegan Avenue... duh. So if you see something we don't know about give me jingle-jangle-beep-beep.
I was telling a friend a couple days ago about how we want to have drop boxes to recycle belts and she said it would be cool if we could put a box in her store with an acrylic/plexi-glass clear front so people could see what was going on... cool idea. Anybody have some scraps they want to sell? Who wants a box? We'll come scoop em up on occasion and go recycle the hell out of them!
Ok have fun. Back to work.
Sewing Thick Natural Rubber
I thought I was going to throw the sewing machine through the window yesterday. All day long fighting with the damn machine. It would go good for like ten stitches and then start getting all messed up, building up giant loops on the bottom. Then when I would finally fix that it would go well for half a second and I'd start feeling victorious and then the bottom wouldn't grab at all! Ahhhh all day long back and forth good, bad, good, bad. I don't think I was able to finish a single item but I guess I came further in design. Some of the material is so rad I can't wait to get this new line going! AHGHH!
