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.

Modified 10kH

Inspired by Miss. Violet’s 10k hours project I’ve decided to re-attempt doing one (or in this case two) things everyday for an extended period of time. I’ve tried this in the past with little success after the first month or so. However, I’m hoping that by making this public and being held accountable, even if it’s only to a handful of friends, that this attempt will be more successful.

The first project is rather self explanatory, and rather easy to blog. Create one piece of art everyday. Track time. Blog. I’m using the term art very loosely. For example, finishing a complex knitting, embroidery, or sewing project totally counts as art. However, a stockinette cap doesn’t.

The second project is less self explanatory, and much harder to blog. Work on knitwear design paperwork for one hour everyday. Progress on this project will be much easier to quantify, but rather boring to blog. So I’m thinking that I might only update progress on this project once or twice a week.

I’m going to start this on the 15th. By then the show I’m working on will have opened and the kinks worked out, and there is a tiny bit of time between school deadlines to get this off the ground. At the moment I’m not sure exactly how long I’ll be continuing this, but I’m hoping at least a year.
