    Island Living: A Photo Journal

    Island-hopping happened! I think I spent more than 30 tickets in total. Here are some of the animals I met. Audie and Merengue usually turn up on my island-hopping trips. But I have no interest in either of them. Surprisingly, I met Rolf, who used to live with us. Harry the hippo turned up...

    Island Living: A Photo Journal

    An updated map I'd been meaning to make. It's an unexciting layout but I love my island because it has everything I like! The single tile-wide meandering paths to go with the rustic mood have not changed. But I did move the campsite, the bamboo grove and Marshal's home. I dug out a curvy river...

    What makes your island your island?

    My island is an island with just 3 bridges and everything I like on it. Very rustic. It's full of hardwood trees so that I can take lots of pictures of pretty sakura in spring and gorgeous foliage in autumn. It has an area that grows is dedicated to glowing moss balloons because I love glowing...

    Island hopping will happen in a couple of days! I'm excited. I don't have anyone in mind I want to meet. Maybe a frog? I will miss Sylvana, my little mochacchino. She has been a joy and a friend.

    I'd completely forgotten that islanders will still wish you a belated happy birthday if you missed talking to them on your actual birthday. Wendy made me smile. I'm glad I saved a cupcake for her. 😊 She is the sweetest. (And I think this means I can't ever let her leave the island! 😉 )...

    What Are You Happy About Today?

    For my birthday, the husband and kid got me flowers that I need to put together. But we did go to an air plant nursery so I got some really cool real plants as well to add to my collection. 😁

    This is the third year I'm celebrating with my Littlestar islanders and I didn't expect an all-girl party! 🥳🎉

    Did you know you can get free flying lessons from Wilbur at the Roost? 😆

    The day had been particularly gloomy with a sky full of dark clouds. But the sunset was still beautiful.

    How do you all decorate your villager houses?

    Not all my islanders have had makeovers for their homes. I'm taking my time. When I do redecorate a home, I consider the animal's personality and, based on my past conversations with them, give them stuff I think they'll like. For instance, Claude gets the artisanal bug cage for his bug friends...

    Finally I got around to redecorating Marshal's home. I wanted a complete change from what he had before, which I felt was too dark and serious. This is a brighter room with colourful accents in the fabrics. The decor would feel completely different if you simply changed the pattern used. It can...

    We had a meteor shower last night. 🌠 I don't need any more star fragments but I like making wishes for my islanders. More bug friends for Claude, new crayons for Joey, extra large umbrella for Raymond, a chatty plant for Shino, a record deal for Wendy, and so on. 😊

    Look at that cat spit fly when he chomps on his matcha soft serve ice cream. 😁 Raymond — actually, anyone — eating ice-cream always makes a happy picture. Even more so, somehow, like today, when the ice cream matches the colour of Raymond's outfit. 🤪💚

    Spotted Shino taking a snapshot of the sandcastle Joey had built yesterday. I would spend an inordinate amount of bells to see what she was seeing. 😆

    Island Living: A Photo Journal

    Shino is the only islander with education as her hobby. I see her reading occasionally. It's nowhere near as often as what Wolfgang, our Most Voracious Reader, used to do. He was always with a book. I've had Marlo and Diana too but they also seemed to read only sparingly. Thinking about this...
