Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Late last night, Benedict reminded me that he was moving soon. But he gave me one last chance to change his mind. I kind of felt bad about him leaving, so I asked him to stay. He agreed to stick around.

Then today, I saw Phineas! I asked him for a badge, and he gave me the Seafood Encyclopedia badge.

Autumn Moon

Isabelle was over by the event plaza, handing out wheat bundles to celebrate the autumn moon (harvest moon) tonight.

There was also a scarecrow face cutout standee there. Benedict looked at me like I was crazy when I stuck my face into it.

As for the wheat bundle, this is what it looks like:

Cube Sculpture PWP

Over in my park, my cube sculpture has been completed! So I went to take a look at it.

To see another picture of the cube sculpture, check out my updated town page. I couldn’t attend the completion ceremony however, because town hall was closed due to the autumn moon festivities.

Later this evening, Aurora suggested a new public works project: a fairy-tale clock.

And Isabelle was talking about how she wanted to snuggle with the moon!

Unfortunately, there’s not a moon-viewing party where animals gather to watch the moon. That’s limited to the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. But I still stopped to admire the harvest moon up in the sky.

There was a notice on the bulletin board today, telling of the autumn moon (harvest moon) tomorrow night. So I’ll have to keep an eye out for that tomorrow.

In my house, I checked the back of Tabby’s picture to see her favorite quote: “You can never have too much of a good thing!”

I checked today’s turnip prices, and they’ve plummeted all the way down to 60 bells. Definitely not selling today. I then ran into Saharah outside, and I paid 3,000 bells to have her redo my house. She installed a cabin wall and a bath tile.

It didn’t look too bad, but I’m not going to keep it that way. After that, I took my quaint painting (from Crazy Redd) up to the museum to have Blathers take a look at it. It turns out my lucky streak is still going strong! It’s a real painting!

I continued placing my brick path around town. I may not be finished with it until the weekend or so, but I’m making progress (which you can see for yourself by visiting my dream town).

Anyway, Molly asked me for an ocean fish. I had a horse mackerel in my pockets already, so I gave that to her. She rewarded me with a moldy shirt. Uhh, thanks. But you shouldn’t have.

I did some fishing and diving and caught something new, a sweet shrimp while diving. When I took it up to the museum, I noticed Main Street was looking pretty lively. Big Top joined former residents Harry and Gabi, and of course Digby was standing in his spot as well.

When I was done fishing and diving, I sold my catches and I then had enough money to pay off my cube sculpture PWP. The project will be complete tomorrow!

Before I talk about what happened in New Leaf today, I want to let you all know that JVGS now has a New Leaf QR Codes page. For now it has a few patterns I’ve designed, as well a bunch of Earthbound/Mother clothing patterns from StarmanPhantom (aka Ness or Bushido). So please check it out and scan any patterns you like. You can also submit your own patterns to the page as well!

As for my day in Forest, it started out with me receiving a letter from Gulliver in South Korea. He sent me this samgyetang.

I then went over to the Able Sisters to use the big sewing machine. I made QR codes of Chief Wahoo (the Cleveland Indians logo) and a black/orange brick path pattern. While I was in there, I tried out this Mr. Saturn pattern made by StarmanPhantom.

It is among the QR codes available at my QR Codes page I mentioned above. Anyway, the Able Sisters also had the big bro’s hat, so I got it to match my shirt. It’s a me!

I also went to check out my full expanded left-side (sleek) room.

And Tabby asked me to go to another town to collect signatures for her Competitive Nom-Nom Club.

But I still had work to do in Forest, so Tabby’s nom-noms would have to wait. I decided to install the cube sculpture in the southwest corner of town, near my park.

I checked turnip prices at Re-Tail, and they were buying them for 123 bells apiece. Not bad, but I’m going to hold out and see if I can do better. The week is still young. Crazy Redd was in town again, but I had no idea which of his four paintings was real. So I went with this quaint painting.

After I finished up my daily tasks, I decided to look for open towns to collect signatures. Maria’s town Arris was open, so I headed on over there. She has Del and I got his signature.

Maria was trying to save funds for her cafe, so I helped her out. Her town looks really nice, by the way.

She also showed me her Pokemon room, which looks great.

There was also a mini art gallery in her basement.

I collected all of the signatures I needed.

Once I was done visiting, I returned home to Forest and gave Tabby the completed petition. She gave me an unexpected reward: her pic!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I finally get my first animal picture and it’s TABBY?! Who wants this in their living room? Seriously.

Nobody, that’s who. The only good thing is that Halloween is coming up next month, and it will surely give my visitors a good scare. But wow, Tabby? I always thought my first picture would be Aurora or Molly. Maybe Big Top or Rolf. But it’s Tabby. Unbelievable.

Anyway, you may have noticed I mentioned a black/orange brick path pattern earlier in this blog entry. Wondering why? That’s right, I’m finally putting a path in! This is what it looks like:

With October just two weeks away, I thought I’d make it black and orange. But it’s very easy to change the colors, so I can make alterations at any time without much effort at all. I haven’t finished placing all the tiles down yet though, as you’ll see if you visit my dream town. It may take me several days to finish that up, but the work is underway.
