Jeff's New Horizons Blog

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

One of today’s snowballs seemed to be moving around on its own today, and I knew that meant one thing: Dung beetle! I got my net out and caught my first one in New Horizons.

I donated it to the museum, and I just need three more bugs to complete my collection.

Both of today’s snowballs were again in the open area near Candy Cane Lane, so I didn’t have any trouble rolling up another snowman. I mean, snowboy.

He gave me a DIY recipe for some ice flooring, and he also gave me a large snowflake that’s required to make it.

When I passed by town hall, I checked out a new message on the bulletin board. Decco left this last night, referencing some discussion we had about murdering Tabby.

I removed a bunch of new flower buds, and I also cleaned up the pile of unclaimed DIY recipes from last night. I left the mushroom wreath recipe, though. I figure the seasonal ones are more likely to be needed by someone than the basic recipes you can get year-round.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Rockabilly. Midge, Hornsby, Apple, and Tybalt also attended the concert.

After the show, I did a little fishing. I earned 2,000 Nook Miles for catching my 2,000th fish.

Moments later, I shot down a balloon present that contained a DIY recipe for a ski-slope wall. It requires just 8 snowflakes to make, and it’s the first of the winter recipes that I’ve received from a balloon present.

And since I neglected to show a picture in yesterday’s entry, here is my Jingle Bells pattern that greets visitors as they arrive from the airport.

I wished on several shooting stars tonight, but there was no sign of Celeste.

See you all next time! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
