an old friend and new patterns!

It's been a while since I've truly picked up Animal Crossing besides going through the (sometimes quite grudgingly) daily chores, but today I had some free time after school to play for a while. To my surprise and happiness, I found out that Whitney had moved in! She was one of my favorite characters back in Wild World and City Folk; so welcome back, old friend!

I hope she stays a while. I've had some of my few likable villagers move out of my town simply because I couldn't catch when they 'pinged' for their moving date. Missing you, Blaire, but there's space to make some new villager friends now.

I also started to do some work in town, after I'd finally managed to unlock the QR code machine with my backup character, Desireé. So far I've implemented a brick path nearby my brick bridge and café, and a few flower patterns to help fill up some of the areas of town where flowers or bushes can't be planted. I don't know if I'm too keen on the brick pattern... I'll mull it over. :P These patterns are not mine, but I wish I had the talent to make them. You can get them and their original source here, on my Animal Crossing Pinterest board.

I'm still trying to line all of my path ways with bushes, though as you can imagine, it's taking a while since you can only buy two bushes per day. Getting there, though! Lots of flowers to continue breeding too - though I'm terrible at planning out what flowers and needs, what's to go where, etc. etc. Still working on funding that lighthouse, too! Lots to do, lots to do...
