Malissa

FurPeaks shattered expectations this year. Awesome friends, and some of the best alpine terrain Canada has to offer.
Huge thanks to @dracco.dragons.place for organizing, and to all others for an unforgettable week!

It's rare I can't fall asleep instantly, I want one more day here with everyone. I'm not ready for the goodbyes.

Seven days. One mountain. And a community that just clicked.

We spent the week sending it down the slopes and the evenings just being… us. Authentic. Safe.

As an organizer, I can build the framework, but the magic only happens when the people fill in the spaces.

Thank you for a hell of a week.

Designing a hooded cowl that'll fit snugly over my helmet for snowboarding. This is completely freehand with no pattern @.@

The cowl is perfect, hopefully the hood ends up as well.

I really enjoy board games for their ability to fill in the gaps while socializing. I like being social but often struggle to keep things going if the other(s) aren't dominant in the conversation. A means to fill in the gaps with the game just makes things flow so well

Eerie night for a stroll.

This was never supposed to be hard for me. Thats what I told myself anyway.

I really need some good distractions until I settle in to this being the norm for 17 more weeks.

Im surviving and no need to worry about me. Im just having myself a good cry here and there.

Once work starts and a home is found I'm bound to start doing better.

I have learned how important it can be to share your feelings with friends.

I love knitting but to be honest, I think its just been a good distraction.

Whenever I slow down, have a moment to myself. I feel the sadness and sorrow flood in.

I miss my partner, my pets, my home.

Sometimes I go for a knit walk. I started this hat and then took off for an adventure whilst knitting. Watched the sunset next to the old wooden coster and completed my hat by days end.

Finished gloves and photos taken.

I like to go out for a walk and to knit at the same time. I have run into a handful of knitters this way since getting back to Vancouver.

My first art trade complete! I think this settles it, I'll start taking proper commissions for knitwear.

Bonus shot of another pair ill have finished shots of tomorrow

Finished the hat. Def gonna send this off to my nephew, should be a perfect fit for him.

This is gonna be slightly too small for me, i knew it 10 rows in but it was looking so pretty I just didnt want to stop. I dont have the yarn to make it any bigger but hopefully it'll find its way to someone who'll like it just as much.

Who'd have though changing your name on social media would be so scary. Something seemingly trivial yet it could sour a relationship.

Will my parents accept it? will they be upset i took my partners name? Will they get hung up on the 1st name.

I may have chickened out today, tomorrow I will not

Lock screen commission for @malissa.bsky.social for their lovely wife as a reminder that each day is one closer to when they’ll be together again 💜 featuring their truck Clifford and Koopa 🐶

Such a sweet sentiment and a privilege to get to work on!

Attempting a new glove idea I had as a break from the jumper.

Happy Holidays!

Traveling back to canada in one hours time, its a one way ticket.

This UK adventure has been amazing. Thought the next 6 months look to be tough, the new Canadian chapter of our lives looks to be just as exciting.

Everyone put your paws up for the last #FursuitFriday before Christmas (wow, less than a week away)! ✨

Been to see Grace and Fable for the week! Because friends are what makes Christmas! 🥰

You gotta wonder if some folks are truly that oblivious to the impact of their actions on others. Much easier to spot them this time of year

It really shows how much folks truly respect you when they wont use the name you introduced yourself as because they read your dead name on some legal form once and now forget/refuse to use your preferred

Sweater update! The Ravens are just starting to appear!

Its growing quick! The 3 colour sections are tricky and im slowly getting faster at em!

A new project begins.

And that the thought of this unfinished project upsetting their friend.

Ideally I would get both but if I had to choose id take the friendship back over the suit.

Malissa suit has ended up being a ling wait as well (5ish years now). Hits harder because if feels like the suit is why its been so hard to stay connected with someone who had become such a close friend.

I can understand the difficulty of finishing something they may have lost the passion for.

Officially 11 years and counting in the onefurall queue

Thinking about a bunch of folks I haven't heard from or spoken to in some time now. Especially some that have just dissapeared. Hope we reconnect one day <3

Less than 2 months to go and I'll be catching that one way ticket back to canada
