for me, giving someone one of these bracelets means showing love.

Happy 2024!

We hope you all had some good times with your chosen family over the holidays, and a fantastic start to the new year.

We are very excited to be back, and to bring you the first Gallacrafts Teaser of 2024!!!

Well, this month it’s less of a teaser and more of a… Quiz? A Game? A Challenge? Yes. That!

It’s a connect the dots challenge to work out what this months theme is going to be!

The quicker you connect all 100 dots, the more time you have to prepare your craft for this month, because we know that everything runs a bit slower in January, so we wanted to give you plenty of time to prep for this lovely theme!

If you don’t get around to connecting the dots then that’s okay, too! Just check back next Sunday the 14th, when we’ll reveal the theme for everyone!

(Please DO NOT put the answer in the comments or the tags, so as to not spoil it for others. Thank you.)

Gallacrafts 2nd Anniversary - Throwback Theme

Hey hey, @energievie and @look-i-love-u here for this month's @gallacrafts. Since we did a collaboration on this little art set we decided to post it here on the @galladrabbles blog we're both running. Aaaaand there's one more reason: the throwback theme we chose is "Short King". Because we love drabbles and the challenge they provide and want to celebrate them. We love our fandom project and how much creativity it brings forth each week. And we love Gallavich...

So we joined up and "crafted" two super new drabbles for you for this gallacrafts' anniversary to have these two fandom guns meet and collab with each other too.

Evie wrote the Mickey drabble. Vey wrote the Ian drabble.

We collected out favourite quotes from them, telling their story in 100 words exactly. Words being highlighted by a pretty frame showing off their love and "their colours".

We hope you enjoy our short king project!

Evie and Vey

@gallacrafts Theme 19 - Big Fic Energy: Things Beyond Mistake by @gallavichy

Details and pattern under the cut

This craft is a special one for me! For several reasons:

My first time participating in gallacrafts!

My first time drafting a pattern this big and I challenged myself to use colors I already had. Big learning experience.

I started cross stitching because of the cross stitch kit that came with the gallacrafts zine last year! It's now my favorite hobby.

I love this fic!!!

This fic is the reason I started properly listening to Sufjan Stevens late 2021/early 2022. If you follow me you know how much I fucking love Sufjan Stevens now. I'm now one step closer to making my Sufjan cross stitch.

Also big thank you to my mom lmao for letting me use her phone to take the picture. Her camera is so good!!

Pattern

You can edit and download the pattern here

It's not on the pattern, but I did backstitching around the letters to make them more visible.

This is where I got the font.

The hoop in the photo is a 6 inch. I had to add more 310 at the bottom than what's in the pattern to make it fit without the aida showing.

This is how I did the back! I wanted to take a pic of the back before I put the felt on but I completely forgot. It's now hanging on my wall next to my other gallacrafts cross stitch.

[gardenerian]

Hope this fandom is doing well. I guess it was sorta inevitable but this summer felt so quiet on here in this Gallavich bubble. A bittersweet thing but the memories still live on.

hi ❤️ i'm sorry if i played any role in making you feel this way. my brain has just been so..... quiet? lately? weird, right? if you can believe it, i just don't feel the need to run my ridiculous mouth and i don't think anyone needs to hear the crickets and/or circus music in my head 😬 but i'm still so in love with you all and i love to pop in and see what's going on. i don't quite know wtf this blog is right now, but it always comes back around 🍅 i'm still haunting the fanfic library and SCN, you can't get rid of me so easily.

but it seems to me that the summer has been pretty productive! gallavich week was a good time, then we had AUgust and kinktober is right around the corner. and the tropes challenge is also upcoming. so there's been plenty of art and fic posted from what i can tell! gallacrafts and galladrabbles are going strong. we're still here, still queer, etc. 🏳️‍🌈 much love much love ✨

[michellemisfit]

A few months ago I casually said that the @gallacrafts Cinnamon Stargazer Lilies must be in my Top 10 Most Ridiculous Bakes I’ve ever done, which led to @tsuga-of-mars asking what else is on that list… oooooh, dangerous request my dude! hahahaha

It’s taken a while because I had to get together the photographs and make decision (wow am I bad at making decisions!!! haha) but here you are…

My Top 10 Most Ridiculous/Favourite Bakes

So when I first started baking in like… 2010? I figured that if I bake cake batter directly in the mixing bowl I could make ball cakes… so that led to some exciting ball shaped fun. This was also at the same time as I realised that if you bring people ridiculously over the top cakes for their birthday, it makes them really happy… who knew?

Ball cakes led on to foot and a half tall cakes consisting of stacked round cakes, ball cakes, and half ball cakes. For that is how you assemble a droid…. This is all very early in my cake making journey, before I’d really learnt about how important it is to fully cool cakes before stacking and decorating them. y’know, that stuff that keeps them from melting and sliding lol

And then for a minute I got really into chocolate, and clearly developed a dislike for crockery, deciding to make chocolate doilies and chocolate bowls, to serve my chocolate mousse in and on. Fuck plates! LOL This was also when I made Ruth the most indulgent chocolate cake covered in all manners of chocolate decorations, including spelling her name in chocolate lol

And then our friends got married and asked me whether I would make their wedding cake, because they loved my baking. Hell, yeah! Both their sets of parents are quite traditional, so while they did come to the wedding and the party afterwards, they said from the start they would only stick around for about an hour. So I thought it would be fun to have a traditional looking three tier wedding cake, for when the parents were at the party. And then when they left and it got cut, each tier turned out to be rainbow coloured! Oh, and the cake toppers are the brides made out of FIMO, in their wedding outfits, which I sourced for them, so I had the inside knowledge on that. Those little FIMO ladies have lived on their mantel piece for 11 years, which is how long they’ve been married <3

Most of my cakes have been inspired by Ruth’s birthday, and wanting to create something new and exciting every year! Ruth loves Afternoon Tea, and I thought it would be fun to create a traditional tea… entirely out of cake! Think this was the first time where the baking started with a full page of notes beforehand. Always a good sign… lol those cucumber sandwiches are cake, by the way. The clotted cream, jam, and sugar bowl, lid, and spoon are made of icing. The jam cookies… are just cookies haha

Then for about a minute and a half I got into mirror glaze. I watched too many YouTube video and thought it looked really cool. However I veeery quickly got over it due to a) it not actually being very difficult at all, so the challenge went out of it pretty quick, and b) how insanely wasteful it is. Not a big fan. What I was a big fan of was that 30th birthday surprise I did for my work colleague. Got into work at 6am to set it all up. Those balloons are sewn to her chair, by the way. And I’m pretty sure she still found confetti in her desk phone and drawers a week later hahaha

And then the farm tradition of Sorry You’re Leaving cakes started, two of which will be on every Top Mys Baking list, always. I learned how to make sugar glass so we could have a greenhouse in the middle of the vegetable beds with a cat on it, a sugar glass pond with ducks, and a sugar glass “stone” path. I free hand made a goat out of icing (with sugar glass horns) and an alpaca, a pig in mud, some bees to go on some flowers, a ton of vegetables, a growing frame… there was a LOT of stuff on this cake, and it was all awesome!

And then a year later another dear friend left the farm and I wasn’t sure how to top the previous cake… But hey! What’s better than one cake? Yes! TWO cakes lol So we have the large animal yard on one cake and the duck pond with its double fenced vegetation boarder on the other cake. This time a lot of work went into finding shop bought candy that would have the right look and texture, such as waver biscuits for animal stables, Daim bars for bark planks (for goat mountain), mikado for pond fences, twirls for wooden sleepers for raised beds, fudge for brick walls and so on, and so forth. I also free hand made cats, ducks, a turkey, goats, and marshmallow sheep FROM HELL!!! Sorry, those didn’t come out right… hahaha

In 2017 I was diagnosed with MS, like four days before my birthday party. And I didn’t really want to celebrate, I didn’t want to spend an entire day having to tell people about my diagnosis and answering questions about MS and listening to platitudes. And then Ruth asked me if there was anything I would like? We were both massively into All the Other Ghosts at the time (a Glee AU and one of the best stories I’ve ever read) and I said that what I wanted as a AtoG party and to not tell anyone about my diagnosis until after. So that’s what happened. And it was amazing! Which then started the annual tradition of over the top themed birthday parties I threw for myself and all my friends. We had a Shadowhunters one. We had a BBC Merlin one. However the Dragon one is still one of my favourites, as it was the first time I managed to make even the sandwiches themed!!! Hahaha Also those brownies are well up there with the best stuff I’ve ever come up with. Look how cute they are!!!! And my darling friend Sonja couldn’t make it to the party, but send me the Toothless cardboard pop up in her absence <3

And then, as I think many of you know, I got really into cookie decorating and sending decorated parcels of cookies to my friends and family during the pandemic. And that has definitely continued. Every birthday now has decorated cookies. I sent a huge bunch to my friend when she got engaged. I sent a box to my niece in Switzerland for her birthday. @f-f-podcast sent cookies out to our patrons for Christmas last year. Below is just a small selection of a truly insane number of cookies I have iced over the years!!

Wow. If you made it all the way to the bottom of this post… congrats! Hope you enjoyed the baking madness. If you’ve not had enough yet you can see more by hitting the ‘Mys in the Kitchen’ tag. Enjoy!
