So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work, or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever." Neil Gaiman

Tuesday's Cross-stitch Update
In the fond hope that I will stitch little x's before next week here is this weeks update. This will be Tanya's Christmas stocking, eventually. I hope to finish it long before the holidays as I have 3 others to do (there's Bri, Kolby and Nora yet.) This one and the one I chose for Bri are designed backwards to the way all the others hang so I'm doing them in reverse which is tricky. I am trying a new idea, I printed them on transparencies and flipped them over, still tricky. Mostly because it's hard to see the symbol that's being used. I'll keep trying as I usually find it gets easier as I go along.
I have an appointment with my hand doc in the morning. My right palm has developed a couple of bumps. Dr Elton thinks it's probably nothing but wants to look, so I'm off to Overland Park during rush hour tomorrow. I have not been happy with the healing of this hand-I don't have any pain but the flexibility isn't what it should be and causes a really tight "tug", even after I've stretched, so I want to ask her about that as well.
Still hot.

Your Christmas stockings are beautiful and I'm in no doubt this will be the same. I've long given up on cross stitch as I can't see it - even with the new glasses! Sorry to read about your hand. I hope it's all good news. ann...
