Looking Closely

Did you ever see a sign in something that was least expected? I have an interesting little story to share!
My Friend Tina really enjoys my Beeswax Candles.  She purchases them all of the time to replenish her supply.  At my last Spring Trunk Show, she selected a couple of my Hand Dipped Tapers. That evening, she and her Husband had a Date Night at their home and Celebrated on their porch.

As the evening went on and the candles burned, an interesting and spiritual thing happened.

Look closely....do you see the sign? There in the wax is a cross that formed as the candle began to drip.
I find this so amazing!!! When Tina shared this photo with me, I felt such a magical feeling!!! When I create these candles, something very Spiritual comes over me. I infuse my intent of Love, Peace and Positive Energy into each and every candle so that the purchaser can take some of that Energy with them.  So when I saw the Cross in the burning candle, I felt that my intentions had transferred to Tina.  She in turn, saw this as a sign that what I have started and what I am creating is something that I should continue to do.
Funny and yet magical as we both saw this as a sign for the good of each other.  Friendship is truly a very magical thing!
Have you seen or experienced any signs lately? I would love to hear♥
Blessings and Much Love,
Milady Leela

A Busy Bee

I have been a very busy bee as of late!!! I literally have been stung by the honey bee for the last week in that I have been creating the most Amazing Beeswax Candles and Melts of different kinds!!!  I am starting to to think that the Honey Bee is becoming one of my totems, besides the butterfly, owl and of course the Cat. All of that is another blog post for sure...hmm, that would make for some interesting content.  Anyone up for that? It would be fun!  ok, ok....back to the point!  As said, I  have been melting wax for a week so far....There are candles and melts of different shapes invading my wooden round table in my Studio!  My house smells so amazing!!!! I must share as one of my sweet friends said...the wax smells...well...."so peaceful."  Yes, that is how it smells...if you can imagine that.  Truly peaceful!!!  Anyway, I wanted to share what has been created.  I will melt, pour and hand dip for another week and then begin working on more Gypsy and Mermaid Jewelry..

 Why such a Busy Bee you ask?  Spring is around the corner and that means I will be participating in Shows again.  I had sold out of so many pieces of jewelry and all of my candles over the Holidays...So that is my reason...truth be told, I am always such a Busy Bee anyway...which is why I said earlier that The Honey Bee is becoming one of my Totems.  It is rather....I am just realizing it now.  I will talk more about this in another post soon.
Also happening in My Enchanting World....My sweet Grand-Baby came over yesterday and so did my Youngest daughter Nikki.  We had such a great time making hot Cocoa,  playing music and spending time together.  I cooked a fabulous and yummy meal...

  ~Sausage and Potato Skillet.~
 I have written a Kitchen Spells post with the recipe if you are interested. http://theenchantingworldofmiladyleela.blogspot.com/2013/12/kitchen-spells-sausage-and-potato.html
This time though, I changed it up a little by using only broccoli and omitting corn and onions. I also cut the sausage up into  pieces, allowing to make more of the meal for sharing. Everyone enjoyed it.

  I love this recipe.  The great thing about this recipe is that you can use what you have on hand.

I have also been enjoying Instagram and posting daily affirmations from my Faery Oracle Deck.  My Instagram is linked to my Facebook and Twitter so if you follow me there too, you can see waht I am posting.  Yesterday's Affirmation was Visualization.

Such a wonderful card as it affirms to visualize only what you desire, avoid visualizing that which you do not desire.  So true and very important to remind yourself of every day.  Manifesting your dreams come first by visualizing what you want and then you can reach for them.

I hope you are all doing well...staying warm if it is cold where you are and enjoying the warmth if you live in a warmer climate.  Tomorrow, I will be posting a "Tutorial Tuesday."  I have not done that in a while....but have a couple of things to share with you that I think you will like.  So, come back and visit...


Much Love and Bright Blessings,

Breakfast,Coffee,Chit Chat,DIY and of Course, Kitties!

Last week, my Friend Donna and I met for Breakfast at my house.  I cooked farm fresh brown eggs that were gifted to Jimi and me from our friends Robin and Roger when we made candles with them.

  Donna cooked our bacon...she taught me a little trick that makes cooking bacon so much easier....hmmm, maybe a DIY on that? Yeah, I am thinking that would be cool, so I won't reveal the trick as of yet.  Patience, my friends!  I will have to get together with Donna to film the Bacon Trick Video.  Anyway, breakfast was yummy.

 We filmed a DIY Video on how to make a sugar lip scrub.The Kitty Committee had to join in, of course!   Jump on over to my YouTube Channel to see it. http://www.youtube.com/miladyleela


 It was such fun to film with her again!  I think it has been since Christmas time that we did the last one.

I have also posted a couple of other video's this past week....this is one I filmed about a few Avon purchases.

Creating with Friends!

Hello...today is the day I am sharing some of the photo's Jimi and I have from the adventure we took last week.  In the last post, I mentioned that we had taken an adventure and shared a video with you of our travels.  If you have not had a chance to see that video, scroll down to the previous post to watch it or you can see it here: http://youtu.be/-LbJZ_lajz8
That particular day was so much fun for Jimi and I!!! We had a great time visiting friends on their Farm and learned how to make beeswax candles.  It was truly a great experience!!!

My friend Robin Armstrong-Seeber(Robin is also my Business Partner with RD Productions...you can visit us here: https://www.facebook.com/RDproductionsforartists  )took the photo above...it is a look at the melted beeswax that we used in order to make the hand dipped, lamplighter and taper candles.  For those of you that do not know what "Lamp Lighter" candles are, I will explain.  In colonial times, there were no matches or electricity. A thin taper like candle was used to light the lanterns in and around the house...hence the name, " Lamp Lighter."   I think that is pretty neat and so inventive, wouldn't' you say?

In addition, we made votive candles.  Robin and her Hubby Roger, sent us home with so many goodies!!! They had packaged up a gift of mixed Beeswax candles and supplies to start making our own candles along with a great bottle of wine.
 

Take a peek at the lovely Tapers we made with Robin and Roger.

...and the votive candles we placed in our Candle-scape that sits on our coffee table at home.

It is such a pleasure to burn Beeswax candles.  They are extremely environmentally friendly, do not emit harmful fumes for people and animals to breathe and smell so amazing....just like honey!
Jimi and I are super excited to begin making these candles ourselves.  We spend so much money on candles as we always buy and burn them, so we figured it would help us to save money.  Most importantly though, not only is it better for our health to use these candles, we enjoyed the process and will have fum makeing them too.  Win, Win, I say!!!

Lastly, I wanted to mention that Robin and Roger raise chickens on their Farm and gave us two dozen beautiful Fresh Brown eggs to also take home.

We had a great time enjoying Friendship, Food and Fun...can not wait to visit with them again!!!

Much Love,
♥♥♥

Have I Mentioned....

Have I mentioned that I love Candles and a great bargain?   I though that I had shared with you that I went to a yard sale a few Saturday's ago and scored this Three Wick Candle with a stand for .20 cents!!!

 Yay me!!!! At first I though it was from Partylite but found out that it was not..no worries, it still was a fabulous find!  Also, this week, I found a few other fabulous finds and filmed a video to share about it.



Lastly I want to share with you that my Artist friend Robin and I have started a brand new company called, RD Productions.  So excited!!! We say that it is a company by Artists for Artists.   We are planning to put on an intimate gathering Holiday Art Show in 2013...more on that as progresses.  Also, I am excited to share that PnL Media Promotions will be helping to promote and plan this exciting event.   You can visit on FaceBook here:
