christmas: my obsessions are many and varied
Okay, so City Planning is mostly complete, and the Christmas Village is--here. As are the Christmas 2009 Bear Group.
The final version of the village is still in progress. I really want some more snow covered trees. And possibly another carriage? IDK.
Below cut, image heavy.
I don't even need to disclaim I am not a great photographer. That, I think, is obvious.
And finally, the Christmas Bears! (minus the snowman and moose auxiliary)

The Village in Total (minus the nutcracker, no clue how he got in there) This is the table level view of the Christmas village. |
 |
Public Works Street From left to back to right: the train station, ,the library, the bank, the fire station, and the post office. |
 |
Merchant's Street Right to back: The Brewery, Up-the-Creek Paddle Shop, The Pottery Shop, and Jenn's Craft Shop (literally. That's the name. I love that shop). On the left behind the trees is the greenhouse. |
 |
The Park Left to right: children playing, a father and son looking at birds, kids on a seesaw, kids making a snowman (far back), kid pushing another kid on a sled (near back) and kids--doing something. |
 |
Victorian House (end of Public Works's Street) Carolers at the Victorian house and a dog house with child. |
 |
The Countryside (Okay, my fault on the bright blue thing; I coudnt' find the switch to turn it off) Left to right: treehouse, the forest with deer and bears, and behind that, the farmhouse and distantly, Jenn's Craft Shop. To the back left, that's Santa Land, and forefront is a gazebo. I think you can also see in the large version a guy cutting wood. |
 |
Church The Church, which is in the middle of the arrangement. |
 |
The Park,, Santaland, and the Greenhouse An aerial view of the park, Santaland, and the greenhouse. Visible in this picture is also a kid swinging. This is to the right of the Church. |

From:The house was still, quiet. He clicked uneasily across the floor, clambered awkwardly over the only barrier in his way, a pair of shoes. The table leg was a challenge, but his jaws turned out to be exactly the right shape to grip and he squirmed up onto the table just as the first rays of dawn broke apart the darkness of the living room.
At last! the nutcracker thought, smugly, as he settled into place. This year, I'm going to be in the pictures!

From:One year, probably on Martha Stewart's decorative instruction, I stacked all my stuffed animals (mostly bears) under the tree so as to cover up the bash. When I came back with a camera to take a picture I found that my little cat had crawled in among them and was looking all cozy and stuffed-toy-like. I have to find that picture and put it on my LJ.

From:Also, I'd never thought of doing Christmas bears. Even though I was throughly mawling the adorable white one at my liquor store [yes there was alcohol around me, just not in me...]
I might still get one and feel all altruistic - for every one you buy, they donate it's mate to a local shelter or whatnot. http://bcldb.com/share-bear
Merry and happy, even if it is a few days late...
