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! 🙂

Frozen Sculptures

As the new day started this morning, Isabelle gave me a DIY recipe for a snowflake wreath. It takes just four snowflakes to make, so I made one for my door, and three to give to villagers as gifts.

The Happy Home Academy sent me my weekly score, and I earned 156,886 points this week. But now that I’ve topped out at 150k+, I probably won’t keep mentioning my score in the blog. Also, that means I don’t have to keep my Halloween and mermaid rooms up either. I’ll probably replace one of them with ice stuff, once I have enough.

Daisy Mae was in town, and she was selling turnips for 97 bells apiece. I bought 1,600 of them for a total of 155,200 bells.

Daisy Mae: How much ya want at 97 bells per turnip?

Later, I spoke with my two previous snowboys, and they both gave me a large snowflake! So once you build a perfect snowboy, keep talking to him each day until he melts to get some extra large snowflakes!

Snowboy: I'm so embarrassed. Turns out I had this large snowflake stuck to me.

I rolled up today’s snowballs to make another snowboy, and he was perfect as well. He taught me how to make a frozen sculpture, which resembles a large bear. Here’s a look at my growing snowfam.

Jeff and his three snowboys.

I found a lost item on the ground, and it was a book about bonsai trees. That confused me, because I had no idea who that would belong to. I asked Keaton about it, and he was offended that I thought it might be his!

Keaton: You thought this was MINE?! Have you been paying attention to my aesthetic at all?

He told me it looked like Rizzo-type item. So I took it over to the rat’s house, and there I noticed that Rizzo did indeed have several bonsai trees in his house. Oops.

Rizzo: Wait a minute...that's the exact book I lost recently!

Anyway, he thanked me for returning the book and he gave me a doublet.

When I gave Midge a snowflake wreath, she rewarded me with a bulldog jacket. I zoomed in to take a good look at it. I like how it says “DOG DOG DOG” all over it.

I wanted to see if the frozen sculpture could be customized, and it can! For those few brief seconds before the options showed up, I imagined customizing it into sculptures of other animals. However, the options only allow you to change the color of the bear. Oof.

But I decided to make the best of it. I wanted to make a red one and a green one…except that there was no red option. 😛 Okay, pink and green then. I like how they turned out, though! This is the entrance to my island.

See you all next time. Never Stop Crossing!
