Hope these are ok for what you want Zoe

My usual attire as we don't have a car and walk everywhere

Hello everyone. I am very honoured to be asked to be a guest designer on JFF, I've never been a guest designer before so my first reaction was fear but then I thought whatever I make will be fine cause I am amongst friends.

 I live on the North East UK Coast in Yorkshire, with my husband Vic. I have a daughter who lives in Cumbria who is also a crafter but mainly does patchwork these days.

I've always crafted in one way or another and have a go at any craft though I do many of them badly and give up after an attempt that doesn't look as I think it should. I am fairly new to blogging and it was like a whole new world had opened to me when I started to look at the marvellous work and then to dare to join in challenges. I have learnt so much and filled folders on my computer with things I would like to try. I just hope I live long enough to do them as I will be 70 on January 1st and my days already go twice as quickly as when I was younger:(

Thank you to JFF for inviting me to be Guest Designer for this week and for the wonderful challenges you set each week.

Love Chrissie xx

THIS IS WHAT I WILL PUT ON MY BLOG WHEN I POST THE CHALLENGE ENTRY

I hadn't a clue what to make so I went for inspiration to our local charity shops and found this heart shaped mirror for £3. It looked very art deco with the 3 pieces and bevelled edges and was a nice size, 12 inches by 13 inches

The templates for the backgrounds and embellishments were made in PSP then assembled onto very thick card--a box that was in the loft provided that.

The ladies I found on an embroidery pattern site and I enhanced them to make them large enough for the sides of the mirror. Parts of the ladies had to be raised with silicone as the mirror is quite thick and the bottom of the dresses and the arms would have been flapping about if I hadn't secured them. There were two hooks on the mirror and I managed to thread those through the card and make a hanger with string. It now hangs in our hall in a space that has needed something a bit different for a long time
