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.

8 Years of Unfinished Projects and an experiment with video!

Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

Firstly, I hope that you had, or are having a wonderful winter holiday (or at the very least surviving).

Secondly, It seems that Thursday is the new Wednesday around here!

Last week I borked my website, and this week I got the very bright, very last minute idea to experiment with video… so, the post that usually takes me an hour and a half to photograph, write, edit, review, and post each week, took me a day and a half.

It started when I decided to find and document all of the unfinished projects I have, because the end of the year seems like a good time for it. It turns out that I have quite a few projects hanging about, some of which stretch back 8 years or so.

The post I was mentally compiling was getting overwhelming – hence the video…

So here it is, I hope you enjoy!

(If you receive these posts via email, you may need to click through to play the video. Here’s the direct link.)

If you enjoyed and want to see more video in the future let me know! Either hit like, or leave a comment.

It was tons of fun, if a little more time consuming than expected.

And I highly doubt I’ll ever abandon the written word entirely, but maybe mixing things up?

Tomorrow I’m writing about my finished Banaue Breeze sweater (in words and photos). That will probably be the final post of 2016 (and definitely the finial finished object of the year) so be sure to come back for that tomorrow.

 

And I’ll leave you with the links to a handful of the patterns I mentioned in the video:

Lady Bat by Teresa Gregorio aka CanaryKnits
By Hand London’s Anna Dress Pattern
My Self-Made Wardrobe Project
The Shawl Geometry Book Series
