What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

I mostly just ran around and tried to figure out how I can incorporate some new custom designs into the areas that I've already created (needed to rework some paths haha), came up with a few ideas for little projects I can work on in the next couple days once I get some certain items so looking forward to getting stuck into that!!
 
Lazy day today, but did the usual chores and finally got everything cleaned up. Also, Flurry was moving today, so I said my goodbyes to her. Can’t wait to see who new moves in.
 
Cleaned things up a bit. Haven't been on in a few days so had a new villager all moved in and lots of weeds to pick up. Been a super busy past week or two haha.
 
I haven't checked in here in a while but here goes!
Today I started planning, buying and crafting for my new outdoor sushi restaurant! I have been collecting fish to display there that would be accurate to those of at an actual sushi restaurant I've been gaining inspiration from real Japanese sushi places on Pinterest, and it's my first time designing something based of an IRL creation.

I've ordered items that I have yet to catalogue off of Jhine7 here on TBT, whom I always go to for supplies for my creative projects hehe.

I've cut down trees and moved flowers onto the beach in preparation for the left side of my island to finally get some love! As well as moving the campsite, museum and my own house. For the campsite I decided to make an area above my residential housing for the campers to feel included with the rest of the town :) And although I'm not actively looking for any new villagers, I'm keeping an eye out for peoples dream villagers so that I can give them away to them if they decide to show up in my town!

I did my fossils today and I've noticed that far more often than not I'm receiving ONLY fossils I have already donated, so I'm collecting them and going to make a thread for people to take their missing fossils like I saw somebody else did for me :)

I had never actually visited the bug section of the museum until today and the butterfly exhibit it is so beautiful! It encourages me even more to collect and donate bugs just to complete it :)

I got a DIY for starry night wall from Celeste today too!

I caught my first Koi fish!! Ever since, I've been getting them more and more today, which makes me so happy as they're one of my favourite fish in the game, every time I went fishing I always secretly hoped I'd fish up a Koi fish, and when it finally happened I was dumbfounded lmao. Kind of silly for a virtual fish but they're so beautiful to me! I used to draw them on all of my textbooks and papers in school so it brings back little memories like that :)

I created a little park/zen area as you cross the bridge to the left side you're greeted by my raccoon statue and set up kind of a Totoro inspired bus stop complete with little leaf umbrella surrounded by trees :,)

I'm really enjoying playing day to day and not time skipping like I used to, makes my days feel more important and longer and makes me excited the next day to play and do things I couldn't do the day before :)

Hope everyone has a Happy Holidays! <3
 
I continues putting down the pavement for my town and added some furniture on villager's lawns. Also Bones is moving in tomorrow so I have that to look forward to. :)
 
cj was here today so i fished for a while. gonna get a sea butterfly model, which i'm really excited about because they're so cute and they remind me of melt-banana. talked to my villagers. phil asked me to do a treasure hunt so i was finally able to do that (to be fair i haven't played consistently in a few months) but i was a couple seconds too late. then i sold a bunch of furniture and crafted stuff for people on nookazon. i'd say it was a pretty productive day. in the game. orz

My first day in December, the town looks so beautiful!

I rolled my first snowboy and he wasn't perfect but pretty good. He gave me an icy wall and a big snowflake for trying. I got super lucky with balloons and got 2 (!) winter DIYs in a row! The first one was the illuminated present which I immediately put in my yard, and the second was the ski-slope wall which I don't really care about but it's still nice. I think I used up all my luck for the month though haha.

Also, Tom was at the campsite and I invited him. He'll be replacing Nana. I've been playing since launch and this is the first time a cranky villager will join the island! So can't wait for the new emotes and DIYs I'm getting from him. :)
 
I finally grew a blue hyacinth! I've been working on that one for a while. I think I might take apart my flower breeding pens for a while. Just until I rearrange everything on the island.

I really wish we could store flowers in our storage or a greenhouse. It would be so handy!
 
Not today, but yesterday, I gave my campsite a small make over. Less flowers, more sitting areas, and took down all the fish models that seemed to look more like clutter, than decoration.
 
I tried making a small snowboy today, but that didn't work. I got 10 lilies for my friend and made him 2 lily record players. I went over to his island to help him decide what he should do with an area of his island that he just couldn’t get right. I moved Raymond’s house to next to Julians on top of the cliff. I finally got the Nook mile’s achievement of stuffing stuff in your house, so now I feel like I can decorate it how I want to. I finally got my last floral diy, so I’m happy about that. Now I just have a few more common diys and I’ll have all the non-seasonal diys, I think. I made a bunch of starry garlands to put in my house. I added statues to the future statue garden.
 
  • daily grind of tasks; tree shaking, fossil digging, rock slapping, shop-going, and villager harassing
  • opal nearly ran me down to give me a festive wreath as soon as i left my house this morning
  • learned the bamboo wall decoration diy from my message in a bottle today
  • messed up another snowboy 🥺
  • another lily-of-the-valley spawned today
  • little bit shy of 2,000,000 saved up in my ABD; almost finally have enough to pay off my last loan
  • collected some ornaments and snowflakes
  • took down my mushroom wreath temporarily for the festive one
  • helped wake up gulliver's lazy bones and returned his communicator pieces
  • attempted to organize more of my flowers but i'm running out of beach space, and eventually i'm gong to want to decorate them again.. sigh i just can't sell the rarer hybrids to nooks without feeling guilty about it
  • successfully obtained a broom and a dustpan and some clay stacks from balloons.. no DIYs so far today
 
Yesterday:

❄ Talked to all my perfect Snowboys and received a large snowflake from each one
❄ Built a perfect Snowboy and received a frozen counter DIY plus a large snowflake
❄ Did a trade with a friend, then had them over at my island, where I showed them around, took pictures with them, offered them to catch snowflakes, and do some shopping
❄ Finished redoing my paths around the plaza, underneath some outdoor furniture and decorations, and around my field of flowers
❄ Redecorated and rearranged some of the furniture around the paths
❄ Had my fossils assessed by Blathers
❄ Caught tons of snowflakes, paper kite butterflies, and Rajah Brooke's birdwing butterflies
❄ Popped several balloons that contained winter DIYs (falling-snow wall, iceberg wall, ski-slope flooring, ski-slope wall, and snowflake wall)
❄ My storage was near full, so I crafted a ton of honeycomb floorings and shell arches with the ridiculous amount of wasp nests and shells I had. Since Nook's Cranny was already closed, I dropped them all in front of the entrance to sell the next day.
❄ Customized my home exterior for free
