Month: December 2021

Yesterday, I got to see the inside of Sasha’s house…and it’s very cute. His house is filled with stuffed animals, and some of them look exactly like Care Bears!

I even sat down on the floor to play a quick board game. 😉

I found a lost item on the ground, and I was able to return it to its owner, Marina. She rewarded me with a…mantis head?

Here are a few other quick notes about yesterday:

• My latest reward from Gullivarrr was a pirate outfit.
• The mysterious island was a money rock island (the first one I’ve seen on a Kapp’n tour).
• I removed another log bridge and replaced it with a brick bridge.

Today, my bridge was complete, and I attended the ceremony.

Some cedar trees are now decorated with festive lights, and you can get some ornaments by shaking these trees. I never got all of the festive items last year, so I’ll need to do some shaking and crafting in the next few weeks!

A couple of new seasonal items are available for the winter solstice: You can order the bathtub with yuzu and the tangyuan.

There was a camper at the campsite, but it was someone that I would never willingly invite into my town in a million years: Chops the hideous pig.

At Nook’s Cranny, I bought a gaming chair for 29,000 bells. But a few minutes later, Apollo wanted to give me an eggshell for it! No way!

Good luck with your ornament search! See you all next time! 🙂

Yesterday, Eloise asked me to join her on the bench in the north part of town (near the north beach, but up on the cliff). So I joined her briefly.

It was getting late, so I wanted to at least try to look for a new villager. I grabbed some Nook Miles Tickets out of storage, but I decided to use no more than three of them. My first trip took me to a tarantula island for the first time! There were a bunch of them walking around at once, and when I caught one of them, another one attacked me!

I ended up catching a total of five tarantulas. I could’ve caught more, but I needed to refocus on getting a new villager. Jitters was there, but I wasn’t interested in him.

But it is kind of funny how animals on mystery islands will fearlessly walk through a pack of tarantulas, while on our own islands, they freak out if they even see one.

On my next mystery island, which happened to a spiral island, I was very surprised to find Sasha!

Sasha is one of the new villagers added in the 2.0 update…and probably the cutest of the bunch. So I couldn’t resist inviting Sasha to Forest!

A few other quick notes about yesterday:

• I made another perfect snowboy, and he said he’d mail my reward.
• I got a DIY recipe for frozen floor tiles from a balloon present.
• Wisp gave me a shoji divider.

Today, I found Gullivarrr in town. Or at least, I found his head. 😛

I went diving for his communicator, and he will send me a gift later.

When I checked my mail, I found a frozen mini snowperson from the snowboy yesterday. I later made another perfect snowboy.

And of course, I went to greet the new green and white bunny in town. Welcome to Forest, Sasha!

On Thursday, Apple told me about a strange dream she had. A floating fish with a deep voice told her that she makes lousy decorating choices. 😛

The dream freaked her out, so she wanted me to come over to her house for a bit. I did, and I hung around for a little while. But when I tried to leave, she stopped me! She said a lot of folks would love to spend time with a future famous person like her. Yikes.

Honestly, this is going to make me refuse visiting offers more often in the future if they’re going to do this stuff. So I waited a couple more minutes before trying to leave again. On the way out, she gave me the song called “I Love You.” I’m starting to think she may be stalking me. 😛

C.J. was in town, and I completed his seasports challenge of catching five fish in a row. I then sold him nearly half a million bells worth of fish. (I had a lot of sturgeon saved up in storage.)

Yesterday, Tia approached me and said that she’s been thinking about moving out of town.

I like Tia a lot, but I felt like it was time to let her go. She’s been in town since the third week of the game’s release (so, over a year and a half) and I felt ready to freshen things up a bit.

I went diving and found a scallop, and Pascal popped up to ask for it. He then told me that castles are just like houses wearing armor.

I guess that makes sense, but I’d argue that they’re more like mansions wearing armor. You don’t see many house-sized castles, am I right?

Today, winter has arrived! Snow now covers the ground, and I built my first snowboy of the season. He taught me how to make a frozen mini snowperson. He didn’t give me the recipe directly, he just sent it to my NookPhone.

I then went to say goodbye to Tia. I’m sure we’ll meet again someday!

K.K. Slider was in town, and he played a song called K.K. Dub for me, Apollo, Louie, Marina, and Static.

Out on Harv’s Island, Tortimer has returned!

I’m guessing we won’t see Cornimer again until next autumn.

Happy winter, everyone! I’ll see you all next time. ❄⛄
