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.

3 rounds of crochet and some crafty burnout

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

granny square progress

3 rounds. That’s how many rounds I’ve added to my giant granny square that will some day turn into a cardigan sweater project.

This is really the only project I’m focusing on (other than untangling a giant pile of yarn), and I figured progress was slow due to a combination of: infinitely long rounds + wooly yarn + hot sticky August weather.

It wasn’t until yesterday, when I was writing some number gazing/reflecty writing about the end of the self-made wardrobe that I thought to throw crafting burn out into the mix.

This year for the self-made wardrobe I ended up making 23 pieces of wearable clothing (including 7 hand knit sweaters) + 1 winter coat + a handful of tank tops. And then on top of that a bunch of accessories + a handful of shawls.

That’s a not insignificant pile of stuff!

No wonder all I want to do with my free time is hang out + read + write + think + walk in the sun + get more sunburned + lazily crochet 3 rounds in a week.

So that’s what I’ll do.
