Holly Chayes

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.

alternating between book edits, and sewing a dress

20 Jul 2016

What's In The Works

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

I’m working on the second round of scribbly edits for Shawl Geometry Book One, before I send it to my technical editor sometime next week. There are definitely still notes, but significantly fewer notes than in the first round – which is always the aim.

And I did spend a day this week alternating between editing, and sewing on my no-longer-really-an-Anna Dress. My aim was to reinvigorate the summer wardrobe infusion project, finish the second round of edits on book one, and also finish sewing my no-longer-really-an-Anna Dress.

I did manage to finish the edits that day, and also spend some time with my summer wardrobe infusion, but I didn’t manage to finish the dress. It turns out, putting “finish book edits” and also “finish dress” is too much of a to-do list for some days.
