Well, I got the the thread that I was missing and have since made some progress on Adair’s Jillian’s Stocking (from Shepherd’s Bush)…  it’s so pretty.  I filled in the Angel’s dress and the stems on things, as well as the black for the shoes, sleeves, etc, and made the cute little lamb come alive. 

On Alec’s I’m ready to fill in with the threads that I just got, and then that will shape up quickly and make this King look more dressed!  These are moving right along!  I’ve brought one or the other to soccer games and stitched while watching the kids play.
