What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

[S.J.]

So this is for yesterday, because Christmas is approaching!
@/Liz! brought two trips worth of festive recipes and materials to my second island!
I learned all of the recipes, except a few duplicates I put aside for my original island.
I made two crowns (one for each resident rep), some giant ornaments, lots of garland, a bauble wreath, and I'm sure a few other items. I also had a lot of festive items that the lovely @/themysterybidder had given me previously!
I decided on a classic green and red Christmas with hints of gold, which is always my favourite (customised items accordingly).
Took out all of the newly crafted items and the items from Jenny and started decorating! On my second island I extended the plaza area each side of the plaza (possibly too much). On the left hand side, I have planned for the big festive tree and gift piles as the centrepiece, and then I think some nice sitting areas for the villagers. On the right side I'd like to have some stalls, maybe for gifts and hot cocoa. It's still got a long way to go, and I'll need to make some Christmas-y custom designs.

My second island is very undecorated in general, so there's a still a lot to do!

In other news, because my catalogue is much larger on my original island, I used my original island for the Deathly Designs tasks. I really love my villagers and island there! I think it's just really sweet and homely. I have less room around the plaza on that island, but I plan to decorate there too.

08 Nov on Foreaux
Went to Harv’s island to get Cyrus to change the style of some furniture, and realised I hadn’t unlocked that yet! Coincidentally, it was also the day that Harv told me he was opening the site with the caravans. I’m not sure what triggered it. I paid the money to unlock Cyrus first.
Crafted a lot more festive items and items for Christmas decorating.
Talked to my villagers.
Checked the recycle bin.
Stopped at the Able sisters to buy clothes. Also went to HHP just to check the shop, and I also purchased the maximum number of items from the Nook Mile catalogue (5x street lamps) and the Nook Shopping Catalogue.
Audie came to visit my house while I was trying to decorate, and I lost to her game of High Card Low Card!
There are shooting stars tonight, so I’ve been wishing on those!

My new island reached 5 stars today! Which is very weird because I didn't try, barely have any fencing and only planted enough trees for the achievement. I just plopped all furniture outside and let flowers grow, but even those are barely there. I can easily get rid of them. I was so confused seeing those 5 stars flowers.

[nightglow]

Went to work today and never noticed Claude before. He is a pretty cool lazy? . I actually like him a lot. Anywho I made his vacation house along with a couple of others. Also got the plot put down for Keaton, my mandatory smug villager. I'm not sure how I feel about him. I like his color pallet and he says Wingo which is fun. I still prefer Avery and Amelia for the Eagles though.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Bought some carrot starts and planted them. Now I have all of the crops.

 

[Firesquids]

Booted up my game for the first time in a while today so most of my playtime was dedicated to clean up.
There was a ton of weeds to pick, so I started off with those followed by digging up the gyroids that have overtaken every other empty spot on my island. After that, I sorted out all of the lily of the valley flowers that have popped up since the last time I played, and moved them into a checkerboard pattern amongst my gold roses. I only have a very small area in which they can spawn so I like the keep that available for new ones to pop up.
I replaced a few of the missing models from my giftshop but I still need to catch another carp to make a new carp on a cutting board.
Thinking of changing up one of the rooms in my Halloween house as I feel the grave yard one isn't as impressive as the rest.

 

[MarzipanDragyn]

Didn't play at all yesterday, so... at the very least, I technically didn't fall behind on my reports


11/10
<Record Not Available>
(Day lost due to a very poor mental health day and horrible time management. By the time I noticed I'd forgotten, I was fed up with everything, and just decided to go to bed. 0/10, would not recommend.)

11/11
• Isabelle warned us of the risks involved with buying art from shady sources; Redd was back in town. Got my hands on a proper painting!
• Delivered the gifts and chatted with my residents (Rhonda's and Patty's were sent through the mail, as I never ran into either of them all day).
• Rock update: no new appearances so far...
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.
• Plucky was thinking about moving away, but I was able to change her mind. (After what she did for my birthday? Naw, she's gotta stick around for a while.)
• Picked out and wrapped new gifts to deliver tomorrow.
• Checked out some more custom designs.
• Joined a group stretching session (motions). During one of the moves, my hip popped so loudly that I startled my dad

 

[MarzipanDragyn]

11/12 (raining, also Mathilda's Birthday!)
• Yet ANOTHER BIRTHDAY I completely forgot about (and I friggin KNEW I'd forgotten something yesterday). I'm a horrible friend
• There was a visitor at the campsite today: Astrid the Kangaroo! I considered inviting her to move, but admittedly didn't try too hard, as I already have one awesome snooty Kangaroo on the island. I can always pay her a visit at Paradise Planning!
• Raced over to the Able Sisters' to check out their inventory before closing time. (Didn't participate in a stretching session today due to my poor time management.)
• Delivered thre gifts that I could (5 were hand delivered, 4 got sent through the mail...) and chatted with my residents...
• ... the last gift, although unintended, ended up being Mathilda's last-minute birthday present: a colorful striped sweater. Luckily for me, she seemed to love it. Phew! (Also, Gayle was there; hers was one of the 4 mailed gifts)
• Rock update: no new appearances so far...
• Attended Slider's show (since it WAS Saturday, after all); he played K.K. Fusion.
• Visited the Roost and ordered a cup from Brewster.

 

[honeyaura]

Continuing the four-incline museum build. I’ll be honest I’m feeling a bit discouraged by how it’s turning out, but I wanna keep pushing to finish it instead of scrapping it prematurely so I’m not going on wondering how it would’ve really looked with it being completed lol

 

[Bluelady]

Player 2 collected some more of the clothing laying around. Also, she got rid of some more cockroaches.

The island rep.:
-I checked her mail.

-Crafted some Festive/Ornament decorations for player 2.

-Placed the existing winter decorations around town. This was hard to do since I’ve terraformed and decorated a lot since last year.

-Bought some items from the catalog.

-Visited HHP and collected diys and moss.

-Talked to a few of my villagers.
