Well This Is Not a Stitchy Post But Thought you would Like To See A Close Up Of A Fisher Cat!

I have a lame raccoon I feed everynight that lives under my deck.  Put its food out and leftover Birthday cake.  WHo shows up is the Fisher Cat.  I know there are a lot of people that have never seen one so here it is.  These animals are very vicious and the other night was banging into my sliding glass door after my cat.  Finally got a couple of pics to show you.

Well It is that Time a Year again...Halloween!!!

Well I am stitching on Witches Of Booville at the moment.  Will show progress in a day or so.  I do not have progress on my Halloween stitching but my daughter who is a great makeup artist sent me

 a photo where she did the makeup and her hairdresser Mikey did her hair. Awesome!!!!  Great work Jen!

Been a While!

So sorry it has been a bad year for me.  Lost my dad at the start of the year and this past week lost my mother in law.  She was such a sweet person!  Angela you will always be in my heart!  She was a sweet kind woman whoo gave so much!

A Very Sad Day Today!

At 2:30 this morning I lost my dad.  He was battling cancer for a few years now. He is now no longer in pain.  Rest in peace Dad.He lived an amazing life.  Rip Joseph William DeMagistris January 8.1938 to January 2 2015.

Really!! I have not blogged since the end of August?  Oh My, It has been a while since I have posted here.  Work has really gotten busy because of the holidays coming up. I bought a new Kindle Fire and have been trying to learn how to use that.The pictures it takes look awesome!  Here is the one I got and I do love it!

Hmmm lets see!! My grandson Conner just turned two this past month. He is growing so fast!  

Ashley finished one year of Bryant University with awesome grades!  Rolling right into another year.  She is also writing for the Bryant newspaper.  Here is one of her articles

She is just loving the University! 

OK for the stitchy side I have worked more on The Witching Hour.

I have now stitched about 2000 stitches in this.

I am now working on Snowfriend ornament by Dimensions Gold collection, hoping to be done for Christmas.  I am about half done now :)

Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I Have To Brag Here! I am so Happy!

My daughter Ashley has been accepted into Bryant University College, the best business college in the US.  She is taking the premed program, majoring in biology and her minor is psychology.  She wants to get the business end done first before her medical studies.  She wants to be a doctor with her own office.  So she needs to now the business end also.  Another exciting thing is Bryant is giving her a $12,000.00 scholarship for the 4 years of college.  So that is $48,000.00 in scholarships!  I am so proud of her : )  Here is a picture I took when she read the letter.

Doesn't she look happy?

Want to wish all Happy Holidays!!

I have been soooo busy with work, it is crazy this time of year!  I have been visiting my grandsons.  Now getting ready for our annual Christmas party at my house.  It is also going to be a going away party for my daughter Kristina, her husband Andrew and my little grandson Connor.  Andrew is going to be stationed in Virginia for three years!  I will be visiting in the Summers but I am not happy about this.  But Andrew will be deployed on the new nucleor sub that should be finished in 2013.  He will be on the sub in 2013 and will visit iting all the subbases around the world.  So it will be exciting  for him.  I will miss them all so I have not had much time to stitch so I do not have an update.

Here is a photo of my last years tree.  Will update with my 2011 party soon.

Here is my little man Connor!  How adorable!!! I decided since I have no stitching updates I would upload a few of Connor.  He is such a sweetheart!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

My Grandson Connor was born at 10:30 am on November 8th.  He weighs 8 lbs 14 ozs. and is 20 inches long!  I just got back from Connecticut and already miss my little man.  I will be back there on Sunday!  I was enjoying my time with my grandson so I didnt get any stitching done.  Will try stitching in between work this week.  Well, I want you all to meet Connor.  Has his fathers pucker lips and Kristina's dimples!  So cute!!
