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.

Could this be the last of the apartment drama? (maybe?)

Hopefully this week will be the last week of no knitting for a good long while.
The apartment dramas seem to be coming to a close.
Fingers crossed at least.

The painting & re-plastering is finished, and looks amazing.

The second round of bedbug chemical treatment, that got sprung on us last week, was done yesterday. So I’m holding my breath and hoping that’s over.

reading - yay books!

Since all of my yarn has been packed away, I’ve been spending a lot of time reading, which has been a nice change of pace. I’m currently working my way through Hermione Lee’s biography of Edith Wharton, it’s fascinating but dense.*
*that’s one hell of an understatement.

using the floor as my desk

And with the apartment a complete and total mess, I’ve taken to using any clear space as a desk. Even the floor.

unpausing. rearranging. restarting.

I posted yesterday that I’m restarting the Self-Made Wardrobe Project August 1st. (yay!!!) I can’t wait to get back to this project, and restart it in a way that’s more sustainable, and hopefully more useful & interesting.
You can read more about the self-made wardrobe project here.

See you Friday for the beginning of the Self-Made Wardrobe, Take 2.

And until then, I’ll be celebrating my birthday Thursday.
Happy Birthday to me!!!
