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.

Everything takes longer than I think it will. (Including writing this post).

Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

Shawl Geometry book editing - the Pilot Hi-Tech-C is perfect for writting teeny tiny in the margins

knitting a lace sweater over coffee

sewing with impromptu pattern weights - because just about anything can be used to hold a sewing pattern flat

Books. Sweater. Dress. Books. Sweater Dress.

This continues to be the rhythm of my week – at least in my “not working on projects for other people time.”

And while there’s been more book editing progress than knitting or sewing progress. I have managed to sneak in time here and there to further my summery wardrobe infusion plans.

The editing is going – but I kind of underestimated exactly how much I had added, and how many pages there were to edit. So I just have to laugh every time I think about my original timeline for this project. But! This project is moving forward, just far slower than I had anticipated.

Which, is also a statement that could easily be applied to my summery wardrobe infusion as well.

Because everything takes longer than I think it will. (including writing this post).

Though I’m making tentative plans to make some time for making that is specifically focused on getting some of the smaller pieces of my summery wardrobe infusion made. Plus I’ve decided that a somewhat incoherent post every now and then is a-okay by me, so I will end this here, and go back to editing.
