This weekend I'll be participating in the 2025 Extra Life fundraiser. 🎉

I'll streaming on Twitch and be live both Saturday and Sunday from 8am-10pm PT. My goal is to raise $1,900. Last year my lifetime donations exceeded $13,000!

Freya survived another vet visit, receiving both a churu and a clean bill of health. She's a proper ham for the vet techs. 😂

My potato harvest!!! I'm so pleased with how they turned out given the heat we've had lately.
I also got to save one rose that wasn't fried by the sun. 🥰

The vegetable garden is thriving! Gerik even added some rosemary a couple weeks ago and they're still going strong!
I really hope there are potatoes in there come harvest time, lol. The Radishes were disappointing and barely had any roots to them.
Two blooms on my Arizona grandiflora rose bush. A vegetable container filled with potato plants. The plants are about as tall as the 3 ft container. Two strawberry plants in a container. Three rosemary plants in the ground. They are somehow managing to not die!

My vegetable garden is doing well! Especially the potatoes, which makes my little hobbit heart happy. 🥰
Two large cedar planter boxes outside. The front one has a row of Crimson Giant Radishes plants and three Sugar Daddy Snap Pea sprouts. The planter behind it has a thriving line of Yukon Gold Potatoes and one surviving Blue Lake Green Bean sprout. Two Quinalt Strawberry plants in an outdoor cedar planter box. The one closest to the camera is the larger of the two.

Always love a good tea quiz. I'll have to put in an order soon. 🥰
A tea quiz results from Friday's Afternoon Tea. Text reads "If a tidepool were a person, it would be you. Your exterior changes to suit your mood, and while you may shift your expression frequently, you're always authentic. Your tea soulmate is Bioluminescence, a blend designed to bring forth the aquatic richness of the many lives inside you. Blue and gold, glowing and silky-wet...this brew is full of inner worlds, just like you. Keep up your dreaming, ok? We need it!"

I'm Sam (she/her). I've been a Producer for just over 7 years and I've shipped 2 games. I enjoy cross stitching, cozy sweaters, and educating my cats on the functionality of trebuchets.

I made an impulse buy at Costco today. Literally squealed when I picked it up. 😍

Here's hoping 2025 is gentler than 2024 was 🎉

Tis the season for me to do yearly battle with my fluffy boy for his annual vet appointment. Wish me luck.
A black and white cat is sleeping on a couch. He is terrified of the vet and cat carriers yet he must go to the vet at least once a year for a checkup.

This weekend is my 7th annual Extra Life fundraiser, where I play games for 25 hours to raise money for Seattle Children's Hospital.

I send cat pictures as thank you to donors and comment on the lovely games I'm playing.

Check it out if you're interested. ❤️

Some cuddly cats for your Wednesday night scrolling.
A torbie cat is lying on a lap covered in a Halloween themed blanket with bats on it. The cat is making little biscuits with her paws while sleeping. A black and white cat is lying on a red blanket. He has the expression of someone bearing the weight of the world despite being a cat that doesn't have to experience capitalism.

Well I can't shape a fucking baguette to save my life. So they look hideous but tasted really good.
Two mini garlic baguettes sit on top of a baking tray on a stove top. They look deformed and more like long, sad loaves of bread.

She looks pretty good for not having baked bread in 2 years. 😍
A pretty nice loaf of bread sits on a wire rack on a counter. 8/10 and the baker is pleased.
