ACNH - Jolly Redd - Happy Dance

September - Jolly Redd is a legitimate art dealer who arrives at the secret beach in his boat called the Treasure Trawler.
When you go inside you will 4 art pieces (paintings & statues). Sometimes they are all real, sometimes they are all fake, and other times they are a mixture. I usually go online to see which ones are the real ones, so I don’t waste money in my game.  

Below you can see the ancient statue and the Twinkling painting.  These are the 2 art pieces that I tried to represent in my cross stitch block.


Here is my cross stitch block. I added the painting and statue to Stewart’s original design.

ACNH - Able Sisters - Happy Dance

I completed this block last weekend, but I forgot to post a photo.
Here is a photo of the whole project to date showing all the blocks completed from January to August.

ACNH - Celeste & Wisp - Happy Dance

I finished Wisp a few days ago, so this block is now completely done.



ACNH - Able Sisters

I also started the July block that I skipped before Celeste.  This one is the Able Sisters, which is a clothing store run by 2 porcupine sisters named Mabel and Sable. Here is the interior of their store. Mabel helps you, while Sable does the sewing.

Stewart designed the block with these 2 characters, but I wanted to add another one to this block as if it looked like a photo of all 3 sisters.  I have completed Sable (burgundy) and Mabel just needs backstitching.

They also have another sister named Label who is a fashion designer who travels to your island and asks you to help her with her studies. She wants you to dress up in different outfits like (vacation, business, goth, going to a party, formal, etc). Then she gives you a special piece of clothing from her fashion line “Labelle” (dress, shorts, tshirt, tights, shoes, hat, coat).

ACNH - Celeste

I am still a few months behind on this project. I skipped the block for July because I'm still designing the background for the space, so I can't stitch the characters yet.

August - Celeste is Blather's sister.  She visits your island at night time, usually when there are shooting stars.  She gives you Zodiac and Space themed DIYs to build.










Here is my block so far.  I have completed Celeste, but need to figure out how to stitch a ghostly shape. I might try using glow in the dark floss.  I will also add some stars and/or shooting stars to the sky after.



Wisp is a ghost that appears randomly at night.  He gets scared and 5 spirits pop out of his body.  You need to find and catch the 5 spirits with a bug net.  Return them to Wisp for a gift (furniture or clothing).

ACNH - Flick & CJ - Happy Dance

Last Sunday night I finished this block.  I placed them in the bottom right square, so CJ can fish off the dock.


It has been a while since I showed the whole project. I’m a few months behind with my stitching.  This block is from June and yesterday the September block was released.


I received my Animal Crossing Monopoly game today.  For anyone interested, it looks like a monopoly game, but it is not played like the classic game. Dave, Jaspar & I are planning to play it on Friday afternoon.  Hopefully I win the first time we play, since it is my game.

ACNH - CJ - update #1

I don’t seem to find time to stitch these days. Always something else to do in the garden or outside while it is nice weather.
I have finished the cross stitching on CJ, now to add a purple butterfly above Flick’s head and a red snapper fish attached to CJ’s fishing rod. I added some of the sand colour for them to stand on. I will add a nice bright blue for the sky.
