Red Rabbit Show – LA – Craft Gossip

Red Rabbit Arts & Crafts Market was started by a group of friends, all artists and artisans, who would get together regularly for raucous lunches to discuss all things art and craft related. After the success of the first show held last December in La Cañada Flintridge, they’ve decided to hold the next edition of the Market at the wonderful 127-acre Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia. This Arts & Crafts Market will feature local Southern California Artists and Crafters. Included will be unique works in glass, ceramics, jewelry, fiber arts, metal, mixed media and other handmade items. There will also be kids crafts and lots of demos going on! A great raffle is included, and free goody bags go to the first 100 attendees.

Embrovia is a cross stitch designer with a lot of funny designs, plenty of ghosts and cats and other fun things for you to stitch. Let’s take a closer look.

I love the story of this shop, which I hope is true and not made up by AI, that it’s run by a husband who made cross stitch designs for his wife and then opened a shop. We’re just going to believe it’s true, OK?

The biggest category on their storefont is called “funny,” and that makes sense because there are a lot of funny designs here. From a duck with a knife to a dog on a toilet, there are lots of options here to stitch for that person on your list with a slightly off sense of humor.

When I saw this caution: floor is lava design I knew that was the one I needed to share with you all. It uses six colors and measures 130 by 135 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 9.3 by 9.6 inches, or 23.7 by 24.6 cm. It only uses full cross stitches.

Another big section is the one devoted to cats. This includes some more realistic looking cats, cat ghosts and superheroes, cats in coffee cups (or with coffee cups) and cats at computers. Other animals also feature in their designs, including bunnies, dogs, birds, capybaras, butterflies and more.

There’s a pretty collection of floral patterns, and a nice set of patterns designed to be stitched on dark canvas (mostly black or red). Rounding out the offerings are designs focused on gaming, mountains, abstract/modern designs, patterns and mandalas and designs for the nursery.

Check out all their fun designs at Embrovia on Etsy.
