Christmas ThimbleWorld 2011

Well, it's that time of year again and Thimble World is in full swing with some new additions and old favorites revisited.


Following are closeups starting from left and going to right.



Big farm land  : )

More rural with Santa Train on tracks.


Still more rural.

So, let's take a look at some new things for 2011.  First is the sasquatch on the far left. I made that thimble and yes, he is well concealed.


I've added a new train.  It's pewter, from England, and all the pieces are actually thimbles.  Note the dots on the tops.  Also in the picture is the new clock "tower" I made.  Four clocks for maximum visibility. (LOL).



Next are a couple new pewter 3-D houses along with some old houses to create a unique, almost cul-de-sac type look.  Also, note that I have (new for this year) lamp posts.



The Amusement Park has some new additions as well.  Most noticeably is the Old Woman's Shoe.




I made some changes and added some new things for Christmas Village.  Along with new train track (thanks, Pam!) so I could put the trains out where they belong, I added new items to the village itself.  Note the elf, new houses, and outdoor fireplace.  There's more, but that's for you to investigate!




Last year, since I put the solar system (thanks, Sandie!) above Thimble World, I needed to include an Observatory.  My initial creation was a thimble domed with the observatory with a building made of cardboard next to it.  Needless to say, the cardboard building bothered me.  It needed to be a thimble!  So, that's what I did.  The building next to the observatory is now an actual thimble to match all the rest.




New animals are added this year.  Here's a new moose.



There are so many new things, I am still trying to remember them all.  Under the carnival sign, behind the "college" on the mountain top, is a secret building.



Of course, what world would be complete without a UFO?  And even better, an alien abduction for the holidays?  (Yes, I made this.)





So, that's it for this post of my Thimble World 2011.  Thanks for looking!!!
