Well, it feels a bit strange to be sitting out here in the tundra stitching palm trees. Oh well, warm thoughts to keep the chill illicited from those winds at bay. I have to say that I've made fantastic progress on this ( at least for me). The last time I did a piece this size it took me about 7 years. Of course that was TW's castle and I was doing it for my DH. Lately, my hands have been cramping up and my fingers feeling rather arthritic once I'm done. I'll probably try putting this piece on my frame to stitch tonight. Then I need to start planning my badge for camp stitchalot.
I finally have finished painting the frames for my ceramic photos for the mud room. They turned out pretty cute and were a lot less expensive that art. I just need to get a good family photo now for both Spring and Fall.
The pet store has leopard geckos on sale. My son is convinced that Savannah needs some company. I called the store and they told me that since she is now 6 inches and the ones for sale are babies that they would not make a good mix. So, my son is terribly disappointed. On the bright side, he just lost a tooth! I barely touched it and it came out in my hand. Now, the senile old tooth fairy needs to do her duty or there will be more disappointment in the morning! LOL

Palm has a good start, I can recognize the leaves that are starting to grow. Hopefully it won't be near as hard as the TW piece, as shouldn't have all the blending and fractionals that she uses.
Good luck on the second gecko, although unless they are really tiny (really more hatchlings than just babies or youths) I wouldn't think you'd have a problem as long as they are both female. Although, if they are too young, will they be able to tell for sure that it is a female?
Your tile pictures sound great, looking forward to seeing them.

Your Palm Tree is off to a good start. It looks really nice.
