What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

Two spanking new DIYs in a day! 🤪

I've been playing since launch day and I've been getting so many repeat DIYs in the past few months that I thought I'd never see a new one again. Today was such a surprise. Raymond gave me a rose bed DIY and a bottle gave me the tall lantern DIY.

Here's hoping I'll be able to get the bonsai shelf DIY from one of my cranky residents soon. 🥺
 
I moved O'Hare's house to the beach yesterday, so I could check it out today and decorate :) I gave him some palm trees, a hearth, camp fire and the ukelele, so he can pursue his popstar (or whatever) dreams and be my village's fisherman at the same time! It's a shame the beaches on my island are kind of narrow, so I had to spread out his 'garden'.

I also planted some more flowers and made some more ruins all over my island, to really give it an overgrown look :)
 
  • love of my life finally has a character on my island. helped him get settle down and honestly he blew through my abd so quickly imma need another good turnip spike lol. i had a great time terraforming and created a space for him to put his tent down on the island. also got to decorate his house because ... :) i am the one giving him bells ( lmao ). all good though he rly like his house.
  • did couple of trades with people.
  • organized my house storage. gave love of my life items i wasn't using and was kinda hoarding. finally found use of the clothing items i bought in different color variations lol. he has most of the black color variant now.
  • since i'm a chronic tt'er, i participated in the fall fishing tourney mainly because i wanted to actually try this time and bump my score to get a gold trophy. also was shooting for two fishing rod stands and another drying rack. super chuffed that i was able to get everything from CJ. boi had the audacity to give me 3 fish rugs in a row bye.
  • finished decorating my beaches. finally, yay!
 
I completed the fossil collection, I’m actually quite sad as collecting is one of my favourite aspects of the game, I’m not sure what I’ll do once my critterpedia is completed! 🥺
 
Yesterday I cleared up some clutter from various areas, and began terraforming to accomplish an idea I have! my island is still not fully decorated yet, but I'm really loving how it's slowly turning out nonetheless :) I started from my entrance and have been slowly working my way out. The building I seem to move the most is the museum rip lmao
 
Today so far I’ve caught a new fish, discovered some new fossils and re-arranged two lily of the valley flowers that had grown since my proper last playing session. I have a little shrine-ish area to a favourite character on mine on the island, so I moved them there. Figured they’d fit well. Halloween season will be soon, so I’m wondering how I can incoporate spooky themes a little more.

Thanks to joycon drift that only got worse, I didn’t have much motivation to play at all in the past few months(among other things), but with a new controller in hand, it feels good to slowly work on my island again. ^^ I TT’d back in time to catch up, though some things are a bit too tedious so I went back to present time. Next year, maybe.
 
  • Ankha gifted me her photo this morning as I was doing gifting rounds
  • Got the Rocket DIY from Celeste!
 
I finished terraforming the path to the secret beach and I'm mostly happy with it. I also set up a honey stall near the orchard to go along with Tangy's bee farm. My entrance, plaza, shops, and museum are all a mess though lol, I'm only focusing on small corner areas right now rather than the large ones since they're the most intimidating.
 
Finished up my outdoor museum extensions. A rock garden, nautical history, and a marine rescue center.

Also close to finishing up my outdoor restaurant.
 
I got the leaf campfire DIY. I farmed Redd multiple times and got the robust statue for the museum. During my Redd farming I also got more purple pansy and purple windflower hybrids
 
Whitney wanted a puffer fish, so I went to the beach to catch it. Then, I caught a puffer fish, gave it to Whitney, and she gave me a photo of her. Sweet!
 
I got the acorn pochette DIY from a balloon, got Chief's photo, and started the process of moving a couple houses around to better align a bridge.
 
I started working on the little bamboo forest-ish area where Kabuki and my character are gonna live. I originally wanted to have a little river running through it but there really wasn't enough room, so I settled for keeping it less complicated. I also moved Kabuki's house to where I want it to be! I finally made some effort with my own house by expanding it and changing the roof colour too.

Unfortunately all the DIY recipesI got today were ones I already knew,,
 
I did the morning rounds of finding fossils and weeds then quit.

I've lost the will to play.
 
Redecorated my main room. It's so much cozier now.

Made 1 mill on turnips.

Got a carpet from Saharah that I've been wanting.
 
My first lily of the valley spawned today. :)

I don't really know how long I will keep up the 5* thing. I got sick of Isabelle telling me about flowers so I planted about 50 flowers the other day and that's how I got up to 5* (it also got me my last flower Nook Mile reward). But I just don't like this many flowers around. Furniture and trees, having no weeds, and no items laying around was never getting me 5*. Isabelle just kept harping on flowers. I don't have zero flowers. I feel like I have a decent amount around. 50 more feels excessive though.

I wish there was a good way to figure out what I need to do for the nature number to not have this many flowers around.
