Well here we are, our last WOYWW show and tell before Christmas.
We have had a busy time.
My friend wanted an office chair re-covering for her daughter. So I whipped off the old black fabric and replaced it with fresh pink cotton fabric to match her bedroom. I just needed a bit of help from my hubby to fix it back together.
Then, I had Ben for the day.
He helped to decorate my tree and then decorated his own Christmas cake that I baked for him. He went for a random technique for both but I love them.😀 He loves fruit cake so I am sure he will enjoy it.
Spot the masked gingerbread man that Annie made during COVID and a sparkly snowflake from LLJ.
We have lovely times together and he is becoming quite a personality.
I think I have done most of my Christmas shopping and we are looking forward to the day with our family and a quiet, peaceful time.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and that for you too, it is a happy and peaceful time.
All the best

I have gifts to wrap and some food to buy for when I get back from my brother's but.... almost ready! Ben's tree and cake look great! Wishing you all a really happy family Christmas and happy WOYWW Helen #2
Looks like you and Ben had a great time Jo. Love his decorating skills. Stay safe and Merry WOYWW Christmas. Sarah #1
So glad Ben has been brought up to enjoy a good old fruit cake, I can't get over the wedding cakes being all sponge and things like that. Nothing beats a fruit cake on big occasions. Love Ben's decorating.
Have a wonderful Christmas, Hugs, Neet 3 xx
Happy WOYWW - and Merry Christmas. I love how you changed the fabric on that chair. So much nicer than the boring black. Christmas Cake is off the menu for me this year, but bought a very small one for hubby (and I bought some decorations this week for it - must remember to actually use them). Ali x #13
Wow, that chair is amazing, what a fab job you did, you are a lady of many talents and skills!! Loved the Christmas cake too, how fab that Ben loves fruit cake, not all children do. My snowflake is in a prominent position on my tree and is sparkling away, I think you of every time I look at it xxxx
Happy Christmas, I hope you have a lovely time with the family xx

Love the chair. Gorgeous tree, mine still only has lights on! Hopefully granddaughters will decorate it tomorrow.
Have a very happy Christmas. Anne x 15
Beautiful work on that chair. We all love the Pecan fruit cake from Collins Street Bakery in Texas. A long standing tradition of my MOM's..Never have made a fruit cake. Love your tree always love the lights at night. Merry Christmas to You and Yours. May your days be Merry and Bright.
Oh wow, the chair is amazing - you've done a fabulous job on it. I love the cake and tree, making special memories with Ben - I miss the days when my nephews found decorated trees magical and wanted to take part in cake decorating! I hope you have a lovely Christmas.
Hugs, Diana xx #12
Wow! To the chair cover. I have just bought a new chair so I am able to appreciate all the hard work in achieving such a beautiful finish.
Have a good Christmas

That chair is amazing. We need to do the opposite, with some ghastly salmon pink folding chairs we bought for £12 each for my Xmas stall. How do you attach the fabric neatly? We love fruit cake, too; Ben’s decorations are great.
Have a great Christmas and happy WOYWW

I'm late calling in cos I had a surprise customer this morning who wanted 7 memory bears making before Christmas!!! Hense I've been head down sewing all day and hope to finish them off tomorrow as I am out tonight at Sam's singing concert [He's singing a duet with a little 9 yr old little girl so will be taking my tissues ].
I'm doing a flying visit today to wish everyone a very happy Christmas. Hope to 'see' you all after the festivities.
Hugs,
Annie x #8

I think Ben did a great job on the cake, so special for him. Have a great Christmas and happy WOYWW. Angela #18
Your tree looks gorgeous, isn't it lovely to have decorations that mean something. I think Ben's got fine taste, fruit cake is amongst the very best! Wishing you all a lovely Christmas xxx
The recovered chair looks fandastic and Ben did a great job with the cake decorating .
Merry Christmas x
