After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.

    Angele: Good evening! During our summer trip, I brought my hand stitching project along with me. One day, sitting on top of a picnic table by the ocean, with my stitching in hand, a woman came up to me, asking about my work. I proudly showed her my work....amateur....but proud of my creativity. She honored me. She then talked to me about your work.....about your outside the box thinking. I just came back from my trip and have totally enjoyed viewing your chanel while I work at getting my house back in order. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!!!! Love it. You inspire me.

    I cannot begin to tell you just how many exercise videos I have enjoyed from the sofa. And consistency is key! I’ve treated them all equally, whether it was VHS, dvd, something being broadcast on TV, a KZread, or an app. And invariably, I will find another one where I will tell myself “this one will be different.” And I’ll settle in on the sofa yet again with a steaming cup of coffee and enjoy watching others show me how energetic and buff they all are. Love your videos! I’m working my way through all the tutorials in preparation for the 2022 Sue Spargo BOMs. 😉

    I have an app very similar to you and have used it maybe a week. I love music and I’m now just doing a bunch of movements and dancing to the music. Songs usually are around 3 minutes long and I do about 3 songs and that gives me 9 minutes of exercise. I’ve found that I feel better in the morning, I’m not stiff from doing activities through out the day, and it’s fun.

    Arianne, I am so excited about your channel, I only found you this last week and I am addicted... I am hinge watching your videos. I am interested in colour, textiles, calligraphy and colour, and it's so wonderful for me to find your work. Both my mother and my husband died just before Christmas and two weeks apart, so my heart is destroyed, but colour to me is very healing and the way you work speaks to my heart. I am a newbie to textiles really, but I collected odd bits of fabric and clothing from charity stores here in the UK and when I lived in America, so now is the time to go through my stash and try something new. I even got some hand dyed fabrics and threads to work along with you as much as I can as a beginner. You are fascinating to watch and great as a teacher. Thank you for teaching us out here in KZread land. Wish I could attend one of your classes!

A lesion has disappeared (probably due to me talking less for a year and not singing!!😄) but reassured that in 5 months I'll be checked again - or that's his plan! - I might have talked more out of Lockdown by then!! LOL☺ Love that agave colour.

    You are so sweet to share this and all of your techniques. I am working on a little something with your bullion circles and wondered what to put next to them. And here you are: perfect. And those little square things you showed in your project are cool too. Have to look that one up. Am keeping a log of which video you show what in. I used to wake up with bad headaches too. Using one of those memory foam pillows that look like a rut in a road worked wonders. ... Hope you find an easy fix too.

    Hi Ariane, Since Covid, our dentist requires everyone to hold and swish a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and mouth wash in their mouths for 30secs. before getting in the chair. FYI What color are the other little variegated bullion circles on your embroidered piece? They look like they are one of the Painters cottons like the agave?
