On Sunday, Wardell (from Paradise Planning) sent me a large Paradise Planning rug in the mail.

Yesterday, C.J. was in town and I sold him about 185,000 bells worth of fish. Wisp was also hanging around. After I collected his spirits for him, he gave me an EKG machine!

Last night, I bought a gallant statue from Redd’s stand on Harv’s Island.

Out on Lottie’s Island, Sheldon wanted a vacation home where he can teach everyone traffic safety. He insisted on a minicar, a crosswalk signal, and a small mannequin. Since I can’t use the island designer app to add paths, I just placed down some gray pattern tiles for a street, and I made some crosswalk patterns. I also added in some other vehicles. I made a scene where a boy is ignoring the “don’t walk” sign, and he walks out into traffic. 😛

For the inside of Sheldon’s house, I used a crosswalk flooring and a tree-lined wall. But this time, I used a rescue mannequin…and Sheldon himself as the driver! Don’t sleep and drive!

Lottie upgraded my title, calling me a “Breakout Designer” now. She must like seeing me recreate traffic accidents. 😛 A pay raise came with the promotion, and I earned 12,000 Poki for this job.

Today, I gave Admiral an elegant dresser. In return, he gave me his photo!

His favorite quote is “Only quitters give up.”

I hung it up on my wall, and I now have 17 villager photos (not counting duplicates or special characters’ pics). That also means that I now have photos of all my current villagers. I guess I’ll need some new villagers now. 😛

Lately, I’ve also done some redecorating in the main room of my house. I finally took down the Christmas/winter stuff. 😛

The gallant statue I received in the mail was authentic, and I was about to put it into storage. But I tried donating it to the museum…and Blathers accepted it! I had seen that statue so many times at Redd’s shop on Harvey’s Island (usually the fake one) that I had forgotten that I never donated the real one! I now only need three works of art: two paintings and one statue. 🙂

See you all next time!

With my latest Nooklink points, I got Timmy and Tommy’s photo yesterday. Even though they share the photo, they each have different favorite quotes on the back. Timmy’s quote is “Experience is the best teacher” and Tommy’s quote is “Nothing succeeds like success.”

My old ally Alli was camping at the campsite. Even though I like her, I don’t like her enough that I would go out of my way to invite her into town. 😛

Over at the plaza today, Sasha was talking about all the apples he ate lately. He particularly loves how it made his burps taste like apples. Strange guy…

As you can see in that last picture, K.K. Slider was in town. He performed Rockin’ K.K. for me, Sasha, Bones, Hornsby, and Marina. After the show, I earned 3,000 Nook Miles for attending my 100th K.K. show! I’ve now completed the “K.K. Mania” achievement.

Later, I headed out to Lottie’s Island to work a shift at Paradise Planning. Azalea wanted a home filled with green furniture.

I picked out an island where her house will be surrounded by a forest of bamboo trees. The property has a pond, and a bridge that goes over it. I was informed that I can change the look of bridges and inclines, so I changed the log bridge into a zen bridge. I also gave Azalea a bunch of bamboo furniture for the yard, along with a couple of pear trees.

Indoors, I went with a green molded-panel wall and green rubber flooring. She insisted on some iron garden furniture, and I also added a wooden double bed (customized to be green, of course), and several green plants.

Lottie paid me 9,000 Poki for completing the job, and then she informed me that it was my 10th vacation home designed. She actually put together a small party to celebrate the occasion!

Lottie hinted that I’ll be working on another facility soon. That will be cool!

See you all next time!

On Tuesday, I gave Admiral a retro massage chair. He rewarded me with a dog nose! 🐶

Between the dog nose and the head bandages, I think our friendship is 90% based on exchanging unflattering accessories with each other. 😂

I bought a scoreboard on Lottie’s Island for just 710 Poki. Of course, I had to check it out to see if it could be used. When you go up to it and press A, you can change the score on the left side from 0 to 1. The score on the right side can not be changed, so the score is always either 0-1 or 1-1.

That was a bit disappointing, but I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything different. Are there any furniture items that have more than two possible states? (Note: I’m not talking about item variations/customizations, I’m talking about what they do when you “use” them.) Items can be on or off, up or down, and so on. But I can’t think of any that have a third state (such as high, low, and medium). If you can think of any, please let me know!

Yesterday, I helped out Gulliver by digging up his communicator parts. Today, he sent me a veil in the mail. (Veil mail is worse than snail mail.) 😛

I went out to Lottie’s Island tonight to work a shift at Paradise Planning. Bianca wanted a snowy vacation home. That certainly makes sense for a snow leopard! I took her request to the extreme by putting her house on a literal glacier. 😂

She insisted on a three-tiered snowperson and a frozen sculpture for her yard. I gave her some additional snowmen, a frozen arch, and a wild log bench. I also added some frozen trees, since I couldn’t add real trees on a glacier.

Indoors, Bianca insisted on a ski rack. I used a ski-slope wall and ski-slope flooring, and I added some frozen furniture, a sleigh, some illuminated snowflakes, and a wood-burning stove to keep warm.

Bianca enjoyed her new vacation home (not that she has a choice 😂), and I earned 9,000 Poki for my work.

As you may know, Nintendo introduced a new feature for Nintendo Switch Online members. By spending a few My Nintendo points, you can get new icon elements to make a new avatar. For March, they added some Animal Crossing villagers who have March birthdays…so I chose Hornsby to represent me on my new icon.

Have you used this new feature? Who’s on your avatar? Leave a comment below! 🙂

See you all next time!
