Illuminated Snowflakes

Yesterday’s snowboy gave me a DIY recipe for an ice wand. That’s obviously my least favorite ice/frozen item yet, but oh well. It’s not like I can wave a magic wand and make it disappear. 😛 But I also earned 500 Nook Miles for building my 10th quality snowperson.

At Nook’s Cranny, I ran into Rizzo. He was looking at a skeleton, saying that he used to have one of those himself!

Rizzo: A skeleton? I think I used to have one of these... ages ago.
So I guess you’re all cartilage now?

Today, I was surprised to see Celeste right outside my house as I started up the game. She taught me the DIY recipe for the galaxy flooring.

C.J. was in town, and I caught five fish in a row to complete his freestyle challenge.

C.J., taking a photo of Jeff: Way to wreck that seasports challenge! What a haul!

I grabbed some fish out of storage, and I sold him 7 red snappers, 5 pikes, 3 football fish, 3 oarfish, 3 sturgeon, an arapaima, a koi, and a goldfish for a total of 164,700 bells.

Today’s snowboy taught me how to make an ice wall (the wallpaper, not the actual wall of ice, which is called a frozen partition). And two of the balloon presents I shot down today contained new seasonal recipes: I learned how to make a snowflake pochette and illuminated snowflakes. I made the snowflakes, and placed them (along with some of my other seasonal items) around Candy Cane Lane.

Several of my frozen items around Candy Cane Lane.

I’m not turning this area into a game or obstacle course yet, but maybe it can be a cool place to hang out this winter.

Note: Even though today was the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere), the game didn’t do anything special for the occasion. Unless, of course, you count the two seasonal items from the NookStop which have been available all month. I think New Leaf spoiled us with a multitude of seasonal events, even if many of them were very minor happenings.

Have a good day, and I’ll see you all next time! ❄️❄️❄️
