I had the best intentions...

...really I did!  
I had planned to stitch and stitch this past IHSW.
Well, sometimes the best laid plans just don't work as planned!
I did stitch a little bit more on SM 1678, but not much more than you saw the last time, 
this sunflower and small blooms are new.



The weekend just seemed to disappear, poof!, into thin air!  
I did take another fall foliage ride to the Litchfield CT area this time, it was a beautiful weekend to get out and about.  I did find this cute antique shop...no new finds but it was fun to browse thru...


And while it seems that most of the good color is already gone up North, 
I found some of the best foliage right in my own yard!  :D


...and some BIG crows too...


So time to get back on track!  and watch some Dancing with the Stars this evening too!
Hope you are having a great week!
Happy Stitchings!

The UK version of Dancing withe the Stars is on too... sadly I seem to focus more on the TV screen than on the xstitching when that is on :D

Your SM 1678 is coming alog very well. I really like your colors. It must be gorgeous where you live in fall. I miss fallen leaves and fresh cold air around.
