dakota 86 i have just re-read my post from earlier and seen that i have mis-typed noahs name, im sure you noticed so i apologise for that! thats what happens when i try to type and cook tea at the same time!

my wooden sign is progessing at a slower rate than i'd like!
my wood has been cut to size, ive bought almost all the supplies i need (just have to get some black acrylic paint next tuesday when i can get to hobbycraft) and i have sorted out the fonts and printed them to the correct size that i want to use.

unfortunatley it needs sanding down before i can prime and paint it. my f-i-l is bringing his electric sander for me to use tomorrow as its quite big and im quite lazy to do it all by hand:rotfl:
so hopefully by the end of tomorrow i will have it primed.

im hoping to be finished by tuesday when i get the black paint. :T

just remembered i havent put the pic of ds1's hulk top i made.

my original plan was to get a long sleeved green tshirt and stick a cut up a white tshirt to look like it was his body underneath.
however, after trailing my city, i couldnt find a green top anywhere:mad:
so i ended up having to cut up one of ds2's sleepsuits and handsew some sleeves from the legs and sew in bits of green material in the slashes. the back was slashed too
