Hello and welcome! I’m Holly Chayes

I help makers, thinkers, builders, operators, creators, etc. implement solid containers for creative chaos, and functional systems for sustainable momentum, all in aid of making a life or business you love. 

Right now I’m working with people and businesses in a couple capacities… 

Business

Business coaching and consulting for small businesses ready to dig into the practicalities of what’s next.

When you’ve graduated from mindset-only to mindset+ 

When you’ve built something that functions but doesn’t flow yet.

When you’ve outgrown and overrun what used to work.

Whatever you’re stuck on, we can get you moving to what’s next.

Individual

Life and clothing magic for individuals who thought they would be more prepared for this moment.

Personal or professional.

Once in a lifetime or every day.

A surprise or something you’ve been working towards for years.

Whatever this moment is, we can get you ready for it.

black & white and playing with colors

Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.

The giant granny square blanket, soon to be cardigan is blocked. Two quick seams, and it’ll stop being a certainly-not-small sized blanket, and be a cardigan.

And I’ve spent most of this week playing with colors + embroidering swatches of color. Weeks and weeks (and weeks ago), I asked what things trip you up when you’re planning colorwork projects, or working with color?

Since then, I’ve been experimenting and playing around with color, color theory, and how to practice working with colors. Kind of exploring the idea of color theory for knitters (and other crafty types). Going deeper into color theory, than just complimentary colors, and monochromatic color schemes. Pinning down how to translate abstract color theory into real world clothes, projects, and wardrobes, and vise versa.

So, I’ve been doing lots of writing, and rewriting, and messy-messing-about-re-re-writing, (and swatching) and I’m beginning to think that I maybe have tentatively found something – and maybe (just maybe) I’ve hit the point where these disparate bits and pieces are coming together into something. And that’s always a damn good feeling.
