I put the last stitch into Celtic Christmas at 12:21am. This is my 39th stitching finish of 2008. Celtic Christmas represents my 5th Dinky-Dyes finish of 2008 also. If you've never stitched one of Jo's charts or used her silks, I highly recommend doing so! Her charts are very easy to read and the silks are a joy to work with. I love all the colors that are available.

Celtic Christmas is stitched on 32ct Silkweaver's lugana with Dinky-Dyes silks and Kreneik very fine gold. Mill hill beads were used as the tree ornaments.
Since I completed Celtic Christmas before I went to sleep, I had all day, including my dialysis treatment, to work on Take Time to Stitch Too.

I last stitched on this project on September 24. I was able to make significant progress today so I'm very pleased. I discovered alternate sayings on Jeannette's website and chose a more appropriate "Any time is stitching time." "Take time to stitch too" didn't make sense since I don't have "Take time to stitch." I'm much happier with the choice I made. I did change it a little, however because the charted design said "Anytime is stitching time." That wasn't exactly grammatically correct, so I made "Anytime" two words. It's nit-picky, I know, but I'm a stickler for grammar.
