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.

my handspun sweater is done, and my winter coat will soon have pockets

Each Wednesday, I post little snippets about what’s happening, and what I’m working on.


knitting

I knit the last couple rows and bound off the shawl I was working on, now it’s sitting next to the couch waiting for a good soak & blocking.

I wove in the ends on my handspun sweater.

ends of yarn

Which was a surprisingly huge number of ends.

For some brainless knitting, I pulled out the pockets of my winter coat again. Funnily enough, before I pulled them out of the project bag, I thought that I had an inch of knitting left on the first pocket, but it turns out I have an inch to knit on the second pocket. I don’t remember knitting that second pocket at all. Maybe it was elves? Or maybe I have a magic appearing pocket?

So, not a heck of a lot of knitting happened this week, it was mostly finishing things up – and working on secret projects.

(Wondering what happened to that project with 1800 yards of thread, from last week? Well, that project is done, the total thread used ended up somewhere north of 3,000 yards – to give that some perspective, we also bought the fabric shop around the corner out of white thread…)
