Last Thursday, I crafted a new shovel to replace one that broke. After I was done, I was alerted that I just received 3,000 Nook Miles. That’s right, I have now completed the DIY Tools achievement for crafting 3,000 tools!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"All
That’s a LOT of crafting. I should probably start buying tools now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I still have two more sections I need to complete, the letter-writing one and the turnip one. Those are going to take me a good while, yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rocket the superhero gorilla was camping at the campsite on Saturday. She’s the only superhero I’m not interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Rocket,<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But there was <\/em>something a bit interesting about her visit: She also camped here in November 2020<\/a>, which I believe makes her my first repeat camper. At least of the campers I’ve mentioned in the blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday morning, I made space in my pockets to get some money out of the bank and buy some turnips from Daisy Mae. But there was a problem: I couldn’t get into Resident Services to access my account! It was closed for New Year’s Eve!<\/p>\n\n\n

But I still wanted to buy turnips, so I started crafting a bunch of stuff to sell. I also grabbed a few pearls out of storage to sell as well. Once I reached a bit over 200k, I went over to Daisy Mae and bought as many turnips as I could afford: 2,070, at a price of 99 bells apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later on, Isabelle gave me a light stick and Tom Nook gave me some party poppers. I also bought an aqua New Year’s hat from Nook. I then hung around and waited for the new year to arrive (as I also had New Leaf<\/a> and GameCube<\/a> on). At midnight, 2024 arrived, and the fireworks started. Happy New Year! \ud83c\udf86<\/p>\n\n\n

Today is the first day of 2024, of course, and my villagers wished me a Happy New Year. Some, however, did it louder than others.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Louie:
THANK YOU, LOUIE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But January 1st isn’t just New Year’s Day, it’s also Bob’s birthday! I crafted him a rocking horse, and customized it to be colorful (since he has always liked colorful\/kiddie furniture). I headed over to his party, and Agent S was also there. I gave Bob the gift, and I think he liked it! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Bob:
I just wish I could see him actually ride it. \ud83d\ude1b<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here are a few other quick notes about the past several days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • I helped out Gulliver last Friday, and he sent me another kaffiyeh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • My savings balance reached 75 million bells.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • K.K. Slider performed K.K. Rally for me and Ankha on Saturday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I’ve ordered way more zodiac dragon figurines than I’ll probably ever use. \ud83d\ude1b But they could come in handy at some point, so I wanted them anyway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If you haven’t yet seen my video taking a look back at my 2023 in Animal Crossing (covering the full series), I hope you’ll give it a quick watch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
