More WIPs! Altered book & Yeti Pillow

I swear, I've been crafting!!! I've been working on some bigger projects which reminds me why I don't usually do big projects. Instead of falling off the blogwaves, I thought I'd update on what I'm working on, even though it's not done!!!
This is a little board book I've started altering! I got it at the flea market. So far I've prepared the cover and glued in various neat papers on the inside pages.
I was lucky enough to find a board book with a wooden cover! I had to sand off the snowmans on the outside. It's a plain wood for now. I haven't figured out what I want the cover to look like.
Here we have the biggest plush I will have ever done... It's an XL wool sweater I also got at the flea market. It's so soft and wooly, I had to make a cute yeti pillow out of it. I've started stitching on the chest... it's taking too long. I can't wait till this giant is finished!

And a little reminder! Please vote for my artwork :) There's a link just to the right, here on my blog! And don't forget, you can vote every day, so please do! Thanks to everyone who has been voting, you're the BEST!!!

Haha, I knew you'd like him, being a yeti and all. My plans are to keep him on my couch as a throw pillow. I've still got all the sleeves for material, though. Maybe I can make a mini-wooly yeti to swap :)

I will take a mini one! I will swap anything for it! And gosh, I still gotta get your link painting in the mail. I am waiting on finishing another swap package so I can send all my packages at once, but it will be soon. Promise!
