What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

I re-did the layout of my Tudor Garden and I put a custom path down for my town plaza. I also moved around my store so I can adjust a cliff and I'm working on demolishing and building new bridges. I am also changing up all of the fences to work better with the snow. I decided to pay off my house loan so I can get a basement and more storage.

Snow happens and I have to re-arrange everything! 🤣
 
Daily chores aside, yesterday...
  • Caught the dung beetle, the last bug I need.
  • Made my first snowboy. Relied on eyeballing so it turned out imperfect.
  • Hoarded snowflakes.
  • Attended Sterling's birthday.
  • Caught a firefly squid & spider crab, the two critters I need, with the help of an amazing friend.
  • Completed the museum.
  • Went balloon grinding. Got 6/8 Snowflake DIYs.
Today...
  • Sterling mailed me his 2nd photo as thanks from his birthday yesterday.
  • Made my first Perfect Snowboy. Used the ear alignment method.
  • Went balloon grinding. Got the last 2 remaining Snowflake DIYs.
  • Hoarded more snowflakes.
 
- Checked my mail and opened packages
- Spoke to my villagers and gave them gifts
- Built my first Snowboy and got an Ice Wand DIY
- Popped a balloon, got a Snowflake Wreath DIY
- Caught a bunch of snowflakes
- Changed my look to warmer clothes
- Did a trade with someone
 
- Updated some of my ground patterns to work with the snow.
- Made my first snowboy. It was perfect, after several attempts!
- Caught a dung beetle, finished the bug collection
- Also decided I didn't like my river. Started tearing stuff down and moving it around. This is going to be a very big project, I hope it pays off!
 
Decided not to delete my game, thanks to my wife (hugs), so we took out another part of the river and terraformed a little, and started moving three of the villagers to the beach, because we want them one space back, and one space to the right.

They're too close to the airport the way they currently are. :(

I had planned on not doing much as I THOUGHT I was satisfied with my island. Ended up moving my rather large pumpkin patch which caused me to move about 20 trees. Then put a fence around the new pumpkins. Took most of the day. Sure am glad that I am satisfied with my island. :rolleyes:
 
It was my birthday in game today (10/30) finally made it! One more day until Halloween and one step closer to catching up lol:
  • Lucy invited me to her house for my bday celebration, Frita and Beardo was there as well. They gifted me a birthday hat and I got 8 birthday cupcakes from my piñata!
  • Went around gifting the rest of my villagers birthday cupcakes. All except for two (Chief and Bud) gifted me birthday items. Guess I’m not high enough friendship with them. It’s okay I ended up getting one of each birthday item though so that was enough for me!
  • Went back and checked my mail, received pirate outfit from Gullivarr.
  • Enjoyed my KK Slider birthday concert with Filbert.
  • Watered my blue rose, currently trying to clone the one I have so I don’t have to water my red roses anymore.
  • Looked for bottled diy (key holder diy) which I did not have yet!
  • Did not see any NPCs today (maybe because kk slider was there?)
  • Visited Nook’s (nothing good) and Able’s (few items to be bought)
  • Went to a NMT Island to use my flimsy axe, flimsy shovel, and axe. Hoping if I do this once a day it will help me get my nook mile achievements faster than destroying my island.
  • There’s an empty sold plot on the island currently, I had Queenie as a campsite visitor yesterday so I let her replace Jeremiah. She will arrive tomorrow.
  • Did all my last day preparations for Halloween tomorrow! 🎃
 
i was way too busy to get online yesterday, but my progress was pretty good;
  • daily grind of activities; trees, fossils, rocks, villagers, and shops
  • wisp was on my island the night before; he gave me a wall clock, which surprisingly is the first one i've ever had in the game
  • caught and donated my first dung beetle
  • managed to make one perfect snowboy, while my other two snowballs crashed into cliffs 😅 got that diy and snowflake, though!
  • caught about 40 snowflakes, just to give me a good inventory to start with; hopefully i can leisurely catch them now and i'll have enough for my recipes
  • attempted to make a crescent moon pond - i gave up. 1) it doesn't fit my island very well and 2) my museum area doesn't have enough space for it to be a functional pond to walk around, so i scrapped that idea
  • kicks was around but he didn't have anything i wanted yesterday

today so far!
  • daily grind of activities; trees, fossils, rocks, villagers, and shops
  • caught two out of the three dung beetles i need to to get a model from flick
  • made another perfect snowboy, right beside my first one 🖤
  • collected my large snowflakes
  • some purple tulips decided to spawn on my peninsula; first purple ones i've ever had
  • attempted to farm some balloons, but the ones i got didn't drop any DIYs and i couldn't sit around for forever 🥺
  • lobo gave me his photo today, finally! out of the 10 villagers currently on my island, 4 of them have given me their portraits 🖤 lobo's probably going to stay with me for a while longer, though, no matter if he asks to move
 
From yesterday:

Completed the bug critterpedia and the bug collection for the museum
Cleaned up the beach of shells and diys
Built a perfect snowboy
Deflower my island some more. I have too many purple hyacinths still
Picked off the shells on the beach
Order some items for friends and mailed them out via Nook shopping
Talked to my villagers and gave them gifts
Popped a few balloons but no DIYs so far
Did Label's challenge to get the final item for her collection
Shopped at ables
 
I moved my house to its final location after having to move it to the beach. It now has the rainbow garden and fountain in front of it. I started, of course, catching snowflakes and made a snow person. I had to move all the flowers that grew from the snow, so I gave those away. I tried to get the lobster again... I caught my last bug! I got another one of the floral diys. I also helped some people catalog some stuff.
 
I managed to build a perfect snowboy after failing yesterday, caught and donated the dung beetle, cleaned up a bunch of flowers that'd sprouted after the snow, and replaced my main path with a more winter-y equivalent. Got Sprinkle's photo, as well. 🙂

Spent a short while popping balloons for the winter DIYs, but no luck yet.
 
I redecorated my basement and added some finishing touches to a few rooms <3 Hoping it's enough to push me over to that final HHA rating...
 
☃️ I found a spot for my campsite.
☃️ Paid another loan off from Nook.
☃️ Gifted my villagers cute Christmas
jumpers.
☃️ Gave Sheldon medicine, although his
little nightcap and sneezes were adorable!

loathing snowman by knocking the
wrong ball on top. Bless him, I don't
