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 your stuck, we can get you moving on 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.

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

editing shawl geometry book three

Got the edits on Shawl Geometry Book 3 back from my editor at the end of last week, and am plugging away making changes (primarily adding and removing commas). Tedious, but necessary.

But the boxes filling my hallway are mostly gone! (And I only shoved a couple into the closet to make it happen!) I spent the weekend emptying the remaining boxes from my move, so now I just have a couple bags to empty out, and piles of things to find spaces for.

And over on Who Wears Who, it’s time for the Fall 10×10 Wardrobe Challenge! I had a ton of fun with the 10×10 wardrobe challenge this summer, and so I knew I wanted to participate when the fall challenge came around. I started my Fall 10×10 Wardrobe Challenge on Monday, so you can catch up on Day 1 here, Day 2 here, and Day 3 over on Who Wears Who later today after I’ve decided what to wear.

moving sucks 2

moving sucks 3

There’s something surreal about putting everything you own in boxes, moving those boxes a couple blocks away, and then taking everything out of boxes again. The objects are the same, the neighborhood is basically the same, but everything is in a slightly different place.

And what’s fairly simple on paper (things into boxes, things out of boxes), takes an incredible amount of time and energy.

At this point, many of the boxes have been emptied, and now it’s all about finding spaces for everything.

Shawl Geometry Book 3 should be back from the proof editors end of this week, which means it (fingers crossed) very, very close to done.

moving sucks and is disgustingly time consuming

moving sucks

I know I say it every time I move, but moving absolutely sucks. It’s stressful, irritating, time consuming, and is also apparently fascinating for the cat. Because every time I start packing another box she comes out to give me a look of “what are you doing human?”

But that is what most of my last week has been, and what the next week will be as well.

Other than packing boxes, I got Shawl Geometry Book 3 off to the proof editor who will (thankfully) get it back to me after I’ve moved, so I don’t have to really worry about it again until then.

And though it seems really boring to type out, that’s pretty much all I’ve been working on.
