What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

So the package with game arrived today: Guess my plane to the island has landed! 
And of course, I intantly popped it into my Switch to start playing. Once I had my character set up, I immediately got to work to turn that deserted mess into a paradise. 'Scribble-topia' was over the character limit for an island name, so I ended up naming it 'Crayola' instead. My starter villagers were a colourful bunch after all: Biff and Phoebe. And I still wanted to name the place something art-related, and it was between this and Colora. I just thought that Crayola sounded just that bit better.
The villagers had terrible spots picked out for their houses, of course, so I helped them a little on that one. Now at least things will look good when trying to make some paths later. Gotta think ahead when you have big plans for an island, right? The first thing I noticed once the game let me run around was a natural, star-shaped pond. I had zero terraforming tools, so it was just kind of... there when I landed. And I thought that was kind of funny, so I screenshotted it. I still need to get the screenshots from my Switch, though. I already have big plans for Crayola, but I think I'm keeping that one just for aesthetic's sake.
After fawning over that for a bit, I did a lot of weeding to raise some Bells: I think I got that entire area around the plaza cleaned up today. The rest of the island was completely blocked off by rivers which cut off into the sea at both ends, and I couldn't jump those yet. So I guess I'll have more weeding to do once I get to cross those. After that, it was time to catch me some some bugs and fish. I just kept turning a few of them in to Nook, and before I knew it, I was picking out a spot for Blathers' museum! There was a nice, semi-big expanse for it somewhere near my little tent, and I thought it would look nice there. So now, my island is going to have some intelligentia on it: he's moving in tomorrow already. Good thing too, because the critters I want to turn in at that museum are cluttering up my inventory. They were really starting to burn a hole in my pocket by the time evening rolled around. Today alone, I had three notifications about a full inventory already!
Also, managed to pay off my first debt to Tom Nook already, and instantly got myself wrapped up in another loan for a house instead of a tent. Good thing I had kept saving up the in-game Bells I earned from selling my bugs and fish while racking up those Nook Miles... Because I already have about 25k IGB out of the 98k I'm going to need. Gotta love a head start like that: In a few more days, I'll already be getting the first upgrade on that house done! Really, Nook, is this the worst you can throw at me?
Famous last words, I know... But I frankly expected worse from him.
After everything, I felt I had worked hard enough for one day. So after unlocking Pro Designs, I decided to work on my first ever clothing design a little: it uses that model of a dress with a short, poofy skirt. As a goth in real life, that blue checkered shirt the game gave me just wasn't cutting it! I just needed something black and pretty. The dress involves an overbust corset which looks like it's layered over the dress itself. And the only things that are still a mess is the lacing of that corset, and the bow on the back of the dress. But that's mainly because I stillhave to get used to this design system versus the design system in New Leaf. But it's nothing that a bit of adjustments over time won't fix. The rest is looking nice so far: I already put the final colour scheme on it, and it looks amazing. Once I get the screenshots from my console, I'll definitely post a few of those on Able Sisters. Can't wait to actually unlock those characters in-game,m so I can share the download links with everyone.
Well, all in all: it was quite the productive day! I think I'm starting an Island Journal thread tomorrow... Because getting Crayola island to a workable state is definitely going to be a journey.

I carried on with designing my mystical ruined mini island and it’s now officially my new favourite spot. Along with adding Nova Lights, Star Fragments and a centred Suspicious Cauldron with Vine seats surrounded by two Ruin Arches and Ruined Pillars the area is now complete. I also did some terraforming around the edges of the mini island and joined up some cliffs with waterfalls. All in all the area is just really coming together, fingers crossed everywhere else will follow the same pattern.

Well, I've definitely gotten a lot done today: An upgrade to the Resident Services got unlocked for me today, and I'm still in the process of gathering materials: 3 types of wood were needed, and some iron nuggets. Only some nuggets left to gather! And I donated enough items to Blathers for him to build a museum tomorrow. Also, I met Gulliver for the first time in this game, and I'm almost done with my first clothing design. It was definitely a productive day yet again.
I have started an island thread recently, and I've posted all of the details there. Because boy, was today ever a story! It involved a starter villager saving the day, some wasps, and a whole lot of exploring.

Yesterday, I had a visitor at my campsite. I walk in to check who's there... only to see Moe, my favourite cat villager! And it just so happens I was missing a Lazy villager, and had one Anicotti who has been refusing to move for several weeks now. Well, after (unfortunately) several hours of closing out of the game when Moe would pick the wrong person, he FINALLLY decided to mention Anicotti's name, who has since moved out today and Moe has claimed the plot and will be moving in officially tomorrow!
And this means I have finally obtained ten villagers I am happy with -- the first time in New Horizons for myself, actually. Perhaps this'll motivate me to finish designing my island so everyone stops having beach-front vacation homes...

I dug up 50 manila clams and made fish bait with it, moved my flower bed so I can finish the neighborhood I'm making for my villagers, chopped some wood from my fruit trees, and put all my gyroids in my basement with a stereo. ^^
I'm so happy to see another Moe fan! He's such a sweetheart, I love him so much. ^^ He just moved into my NL town and I'm about to invite him to my campsite in NH!

I got extremely lucky today: I went on my first two mystery trips ever. And on the second one, I found one of my dream villagers: Rhonda! Not to mention that same island had some plants I wanted: I needed some bamboo shoots for a bamboo forest on my island, and I managed to get some shoots from that same mystery island. I also have Genji and Kabuki as dream villagers, so I thought it would be a fun idea to have a bamboo forest going on around where I plan their plots to be. So I got to start that plan for my island earlier then expected! I planted about 5 shoots, and cleared out the area around them. So all I have to do now is wait: from doing something like this in my New Leaf town, I know how fast those suckers can multiply. I'll have that little bamboo nursery turned into a majestic forest in no-time! Today was a good day for sure.
I've also got Nook's Cranny getting built, and the museum finishing construction tomorrow. So I guess I've reached the 3rd villager milestone, and then some! I kind of forgot what getting that 3rd villager unlocked, but I do know it unlocked something.

I gave gifts to everyone and earned photos from Pierce and Petri. Pierce was my first ever jock villager, so I'm glad to finally have his photo. Petri was replaced by PomPom and Pierce was replaced by Bree. I didn't think I'd like Bree but I love her already and PomPom is also cute.
So I got to design his vacation home 
I finally got Quinn's photo today which took like, forever.
I've given her wrapped gifts daily, kept exhausting her dialogue, had treasure hunts, home visits, and did lots of favors for her, yet she refused to give it to me. I even got Roswell and Petri's photos a week or two before her, both of which I invited to my island after she moved in. I love her but man, what a pain.

Today I planted some bushes, went to a friends island and got some fruit, talked to villagers and began decorating my island. Currently waiting for resident services to upgrade to the town hall.

finally caught a fly. Now I just need two more bugs to catch to finish that part of the museum
also, today I finally dug up a wallopoid which is super ironic because right before that I bought a wallopoid collectible on TBT! And today I managed to get the fish and chips DIY from Pecan which I've been wanting for a while.
Also also, yesterday I got Genji's photo and finished the diving portion of my museum.
took yet another break from playing, but at least i finally made it to 2022.

Well, yesterday was pretty casual for my doing. My 5th villager moved in, so Resident Services is going to be under construction today. I've already designed a flag for my island, so everything is pretty much set up on that area. I'm already planning where all the buildings on the island are going to go, since I'm lowkey regretting where I placed some plots.
I've also headed over to Photopia to unlock some villager posters for every villager currently on my island, learned a new reaction (apologetic), saw Leif on the plaza that day, and unlocked the dreaming functionality. Sadly, I don't have an online subscription, so I can't really do much with that last one yet. Might try to use that functionality today without the subscription just to get the Luna cutscene out of the way, though. I'm kind of used to making more progress in the game then this, but at least I got something done.
EDIT: Silly me, I had no idea that the Resident Services was just going to be on the Plaza! That's a relief, though.
