A couple of months ago, I found this adorable shirt on MaruMaru Dayori:

I really liked it but…

It’s yellow. And there is that weird black line across the bottom that looks weird if you wear it with anything that isn’t black. And I prefer long sleeves to short ones, especially because it’s getting to be wintertime again. And it would look so very good in red…

So, I created one of my own, using the original as a guide. I’ve made them in a wide variety of colors to please all the fashionistas out there. ENJOY!

The snow hit my town today and I immediately hated the path in my town. I looked for some new paths to replace them with, but I didn’t like any of them either, so I made my own.

First, I made this Gravel Path.

It was alright, but it looked a little like it was floating on top of things instead of an actual path.

This Earthy Paver is a little better.

It just didn’t work with my new Winter Wonderland, so I created this Snowy Paver and I like it MUCH better.

Now, I have new paths in my town and I can share them with the world so everyone can enjoy them.

There are some days when you can do everything right and still have bad luck. It’s true in Animal Crossing just as much as it is in real life, but in Animal Crossing, the fortune teller can actually warn you about your impending bad luck.

A visit to Katrina, will start out ominous, so you know right away that it’s a bad luck day.

The Lovely Phone, is more ambiguous, however. It may just say something vaguely unfavorable.

There is little you can do to turn your luck around. If you have the lucky item, you can make yourself about as lucky as a normal day.

If you have your lucky item AND can also wear your Tingle Hood, then you can have a lucky day despite the “misfortune that is attempting to come down on you.”

Arranging the furniture in your house helps, but it really can’t overcome a bad luck day. In Animal Crossing, as in real life, it might be best to just hide in bed on your bad luck days.

I don’t like the mini-game tours on the island. I ONLY do them to earn medals so I can buy the cool stuff from the island shop. The quickest way for me to earn medals is with the Elite Scavenger Tour.

In about two minutes, I can earn 16 medals EVERY time. Here’s how I do it. (Continue Reading…)

My lucky item for the day was the Mint Gingham Skirt and I didn’t have a good shirt to wear with it, so I revamped one of my sweaters to match it and added a sling bag. Here’s the QR Code:

I absolutely LOVE that I can just make a new outfit and share it with the world immediately. I hope you all like it.

I love to sell my fruit, gems and fossils on the Flea Market pallets at Retail, because I can sell them to the villagers for almost four times what Reese will pay me for them. Unfortunately, I ran into problems. It was hard to get the villagers to LEAVE once they bought something and getting them to come to Retail was just as hard.

With a ton of trial and error, however, I’ve found a pretty good way to efficiently sell all of my high ticket items at Retail for four times the usual price. Here’s how I do it…

Update 12-04-13: I added information about bad luck days. (Continue Reading…)

There is a simple denim jacket in the video game, but it is buttoned up to the throat and makes me feel like a nerd when I wear it.

So I made my own. A simple denim jacket with a white shirt underneath. (Continue Reading…)

I wanted a cool black leather jacket, but there wasn’t anything in the game. I did find a couple of QR codes from other people, like this cute frilly dress: ANIMAL CROSSING QR CODE BLOG

I just wanted a jacket, though. There was a punk rock jacket here that I liked, but it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for: Punk Rock Leather Jacket – Pinterest

So I made my own and I really like how it turned out.

A couple of days ago, Gyroid’s lucky clothing item was “women’s bottoms.” So, I had him wear the red kilt that comes in the game and he looked pretty badass.

He reminded me of this photo of Ewan MacGregor in a kilt:

Or maybe this photo of Wil Wheaton in a kilt:

All this spawned a flurry of QR Code-Making. Here is the red kilt I made:

The blue kilt with a black leather jacket:

And the green kilt with the black leather jacket:

If you notice, the dress designs flare out a bit more at the waist than the kilt design that came in the game, so they don’t look perfect, but I had a bunch of fun making these, so I thought I’d share them with you.

I made a cute little dress with a denim jacket and a purse. I liked it so much that I made it in EVERY color I could think of.

You can find the QR Codes after the break. (Continue Reading…)

When I pre-ordered Animal Crossing New Leaf, I also ordered the Animal Crossing New Leaf game guide. The one for Wild World was really helpful, so I thought this one would help me as well and it has been invaluable. It’s great for keeping track of what I’ve previously purchased for the goal for a complete catalog, but most importantly, it helps me when I’m working part time at Brewster’s Cafe.

Each of the animals walks in and wants me to fix them their “usual” without even telling me what they like. This would be a horrible nightmare of failure instead of a fun mini-game without the guide. Of course, you can also reference this online guide:

• Thonky – Animal Crossing New Leaf – The Roost Cafe

Unfortunately, my guide doesn’t have the favorite coffee for the special visitors who come to town, like Phineas and Gracie. Over the last four months, I’ve been saving the data on them and I finally have it all.

Visitor – Beans – Milk – Sugar

• D.J. K.K. – Blend – None- None
• Phineas – Kilamanjaro – Lots – Three
• Pete – Blend – Regular – Two
• Isabelle – Mocha – Lots – Three
• Digby – Blue Mountain – None – None
• Phyllis – Kilamanjaro – None – None
• Dr. Shrunk – Mocha – Little – Two
• Tortimer – Kilamanjaro – Regular – Two
• Kap’n – Blue Mountain – Regular – None
• Gracie – Blend – None – None
• Pelly – Blend – Little – One
• Mr. Resetti – Blue Mountain – None – None
• Kicks – Mocha – None – One
• Tom Nook – Kilamanjaro – Lots – One
• Don Resetti – Blend – None – Three

It took me a LONG time to gather all this info and then I looked on that website and found it in a second. I should have thought of using the Internet BEFORE I did all that work!
