About this Event
Join us at Studio Kash for a cozy afternoon of crafting, writing, and connection in collaboration with Cozy by Aliana and Becca Arlaza. This special two-part workshop brings together the art of cross stitching and the joy of journaling, inviting you to create something meaningful with your hands and then fill it with your own words.
We'll begin with a hands-on introduction to cross stitching, led by Becca Arlaza, where you'll learn the basics of this timeless craft while personalizing your very own journal with a hand-stitched monogram. Stitch by stitch, you'll transform a simple journal into a one-of-a-kind keepsake that's uniquely yours!
Once your journal is complete, we'll transition into a guided journaling and writing session led by Cozy by Aliana. Through thoughtful prompts and gentle creative exercises, you'll have the opportunity to reflect, express yourself, and put pen to paper in a welcoming, supportive space.
What to expect:
- Beginner-friendly cross stitch instruction with Becca Arlaza
- A journal you'll personalize with your own hand-stitched monogram
- A guided group journaling session with Cozy by Aliana
- All materials and supplies included
- Light snacks and refreshments
