Running with Glowsticks

Yesterday, the Nooklings were paying 127 bells for turnips. I sold them all of my 1,600 turnips for a total of 203,200 bells.

When I made a perfect snowboy, he taught me how to make a frozen chair. I made one and temporarily put it outside of my house. I should be careful not to get stuck to it, though!

Able Sisters had a cute reindeer costume for sale. I couldn’t resist buying it, although I’m not planning on wearing it right now. Maybe I’ll save it for a reiny day.

Back outside, I heard the familiar breezy sound of a balloon present flying overhead. I got my slingshot out and shot it down. My reward was a DIY recipe for an ornament mobile. I haven’t been seeing many of these ornament DIYs yet!

Louie had a treasure hunt for me, but he only gave me three minutes to find the treasure. It took me two and a half minutes to circle around town and eventually find the item up on Eagle Mountain. I returned it to Louie, and he revealed that the treasure was a checkered muffler.

At the plaza, Tia, Tybalt, and Apple were all running around with glow sticks. It was cute!

Midge asked me to deliver a present to Keaton, and I agreed to help out. The item turned out to be a baby chair, and Keaton said it was just his style!

Keaton: Ooh, it's just my style. A real baby chair!

He thanked me by giving me a bath-towel wrap.

Wisp was in town, and I returned his five spirits to him. In return, he graciously gave me an ironing set. I was flattered, and it raised my self-esteam.

Today, Gulliver was washed up on the beach. I dug up his five communicator parts and took them back to him, and he’ll be sending me a gift tomorrow.

The snowboy I built today gave me a DIY recipe for a frozen arch. I made one and used it to update the entrance of my arch enemy.

Able Sisters had some red down pants, so I bought them to match my jacket.

Now I look like a cross between Santa Claus and the Michelin Man.

And as I dug up some black roses, Apple watered them! So she basically just watered a hole. Well thanks anyway, Apple! 😛

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow. Hope to see you then!

Jealous of a Tree?

When I visited Rizzo today, he offered to buy my common butterfly for 240 bells. He said he’s been unable to find one, and he wondered how I managed to catch one. 😛 It’s not that hard, Rizzo. But I gladly sold it to him; I sure didn’t need it.

Rizzo: Haven't been able to catch myself a common butterfly...

I built another perfect snowboy today, and he taught me how to make a three-tiered snowperson. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like regular snowboys. But I did like how the recipe requires two tree branches to make the arms.

What…no carrot required? 🥕

When I spoke with Keaton, he told me he was jealous of the tree that was set up for Toy Day at the plaza!

Keaton: I didn't know it was possible to be jealous of a tree, but here we are. That thing is ICONIC, on a cliff!

Later on, I took some black roses over to Jac and Joshy.

Celeste was walking around town tonight, and she gave me a DIY recipe for a sci-fi wall.

Celeste: I would like you to have it. Do let me know if you try building it, would you?

I installed it in my space room upstairs in my house.

And last, but not least, I made a Rizzo pattern based on his in-game photo. I placed it near his house…

…but the real reason I made the pattern is for something else…something that I’m saving for a future video.

See you all next time! Have a great day!

Update: There will be no Friday Night Forest this week.

Festive Lights & Ornaments

Yesterday, I built another (perfect) snowboy, and he rewarded me with a recipe for a frozen bed. Here’s a picture of my first four snowboys before they all start dying. 😛

Today, Isabelle informed me about the festive lights on cedar trees. They’ll be up through early January. Also, ornaments will now fall from trees when shaken! And of course, in true New Horizons fashion, you can craft things from the ornaments. She also gave me a recipe for an ornament wreath.

After I bought a Santa hat at Able Sisters, I walked by town hall. They had a Christmas tree set up in front, but Hornsby was there…with a net, ready to attack!

There was a moth there, so he was trying to catch it. But I was afraid he was going to ruin the Christmas tree when he swung his net! 😛 Fortunately, the tree survived. 😉

I made another Snowboy today, and he was perfect too. I’m 5-for-5 so far! This one gave me a recipe for a frozen partition, which looks like an ice brick wall…pretty cool!

Snowboy: Would you believe me if I told you I was an alien? I mean, I did fall from the sky, you know.

I ran into Hornsby again, and he had another bad idea (as if attacking a Christmas tree wasn’t bad enough). Now he wanted to leave a tub of sour cream in the snow overnight and make ice cream out of it!

Hornsby: I'm gonna make ice cream! I'll put a tub of sour cream in the snow overnight and...
Hornsby, NO!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

At this point, I’m really questioning Hornsby’s judgment today.

Up on Eagle Mountain, I found quite a few cedar trees with festive lights.

I shook some trees to get some ornaments. I’m happy to report that they are not as rare as pine cones and acorns were. I got six ornaments in just about 40 seconds of shaking.

When I ran into Hornsby again, he was clearly making better decisions. That’s because he gave me a festive wreath for free!

Hornsby: Anyway, I just really, really wanna give you this festive wreath. So I'm gonna. Riiight about...now!

He told me to put it on my door, because even doors want to have a good Toy Day.

Later, I delivered some extra blue hyacinths to Inky and some black roses to Tony.

I posted my latest video today, Cute Moments #2. I hope you enjoy it!

See you next time! 🙂
