Jeff's New Horizons Blog

On Sunday morning, Daisy Mae was selling turnips for 100 bells apiece. I bought 1,700 of them.

The shop on Lottie’s island had a bunny garden decoration for sale, at a cost of just 1,500 Poki. I bought it, because I knew just what to do with it! If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I like to put an item related to a villager’s species right outside their house (when possible).

For example, I had a paper tiger outside of Tybalt’s house and an elephant slide outside of Tia’s house. So this bunny is going in front of Sasha’s house.

Agent S asked to visit my house, and I accidentally said yes. D’oh. 😛 I showed her around, and she hopped on my toilet!

The glare on her helmet made it look like she only had one eye. 😀

Today is the first day of February, and two Valentine’s Day items are again available through Nook Shopping: The chocolate heart and heart-shaped bouquet. Also, Nook’s Cranny now stocks Festivale items.

Eloise offered a treasure hunt game, and I agreed to play. However, I had a lot of things not in my favor. For one thing, I hadn’t dug up any of today’s fossils yet…so each dig spot I saw only had a ~20% chance of being the treasure. Secondly, my pockets were full. So each fossil I found had to be swapped out, costing me even more time. And thirdly, she only gave me three minutes instead of the usual six.

That was a recipe for disaster, and I ended up losing the game. (But I found all my fossils.) 😂

I believe that was the first time I’ve failed the treasure hunt game.

Once I did find the treasure, I spoke with Eloise again and she took the item back. 😮

Louie was enjoying some coffee at the Roost tonight. He said that his workouts are so intense that a coffee buzz feels like a nap in comparison. 😛

I recently found a D.I.Y. recipe for a plate armor, which is the suit of armor furniture item (not the wearable outfit). I made several of them, and I placed them outside the entrance(s) to my castle. They look better than the warrior statues I had been using.

Wisp was in town Sunday night and then again tonight. He gave me a frilly skirt on Sunday, and a spray can tonight. Jolly Redd’s ship was in town tonight, but Redd didn’t have any art that I needed.

Sasha asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “while I hop.” I’ll keep an eye out for any funny sentences that result from his new way of speaking.

See you next time!

Yesterday, I headed over to Lottie’s island again…but just to shop, not to work. While I was there, I confirmed that Paradise Planning now has a functioning workbench upstairs. I’m just not sure why we need one there, since I can’t use the items in my pockets on Lottie’s island anyway.

At Able Sisters, I used a tailors ticket to buy a grape hat. It’s such a ridiculous item that I love it! 😂 I can imagine eight players running around with these on their heads. I bet that would look funny, although I don’t have any plans on using them that way.

On Kapp’n’s mysterious island, I planted some vegetable seeds/starts just for the Nook Points achievements (as I’ve been doing for weeks). And I’ve now completed the “Sprout Out Loud” goals. I earned 3,000 Nook Miles for planting 200 crops.

Tonight, K.K. Slider was hanging out at the plaza for his usual Saturday night performance. He played K.K. Disco for me, Sasha, Apollo, Hornsby, and Eloise.

There was a camper at the campsite, and it was a hideous frog! No, not Jambette…the other one. No, not Gigi. Not Wart Jr. or Croque either. I need to be more specific; there are too many ugly frogs in this series. 😛 It was Diva, and she is not welcome here.

I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. See you next time!

Yesterday, Nook Inc. sent me a reward (a protein shake) for forcing encouraging residents to participate in group stretching. 😛

Nook’s Cranny was buying turnips for 188 bells apiece, so I sold the remainder of my turnips at that price.

I gave Admiral some head bandages as a gift, and to my surprise, he put them on right away. So if anyone saw me go inside his house, and then saw him come out with bandages on his head, they might think I just beat him up! 😂

Wisp was in town, and I gathered up his spirits for him. He rewarded me with an outdoor kitchen.

Today is Admiral’s birthday, and I attended his party (Louie was also there). I gave Admiral a gold rose wreath that I crafted for his door, and he seemed to like it.

Happy birthday, Admiral! Well now I feel bad for beating him up yesterday. 😂

Tonight, I went out to Lottie’s island to work a shift. Lottie told me that she ordered a workbench for Paradise Planning. Once it arrives, it will be placed upstairs (where the lockers are), and she said I’ll be able to use it for my own projects at any time.

I went out to the beach to look for customers, and Papi wanted a vacation house with lots of wooden furniture.

I chose a location with a forest of cedar trees. In the yard, I gave him a swinging bench, a sleigh, a destinations signpost, and a chainsaw…so that he can cut down more trees if he needs to. 😛

Indoors, I gave him a wooden bookshelf, simple vanity, and a wooden double bed…in addition to the items he suggested. I also gave him a few snacks to enjoy as he reads.

With the job done, I returned to Paradise Planning. Lottie gave me a new title of “Promising Designer,” and she gave me a raise! I got 9,000 Poki for this job. Not bad!

See you all next time!
