A Time of Sadness

For those of you that follow me on Facebook, you know that my Familiar and Precious Mr. Jackson passed away on July 26, 2016.  Jimi and I are so Heartbroken over his passing.  He was having some issues due to Feline Diabetes and Kidney Disease.  His medical bills that we had incurred prior, were so far out of our reach and we still have a long way to go to pay them off, however, some wonderful, loving and kind people sent us and gave donations to help us. Our Hearts are so touched and grateful for such generosity♥  Let me take this time to say Thank you again to those of you that donated, you are so loved by us!!!! Jackson was actually scheduled to see his doctor on the day that he passed again, in hopes to help what the doctor felt was treatable with meds. On that day, he did not greet us in the morning as he always did and we just knew our lives would never be the same. We found our Mr. Jackson had passed in his sleep. We are so very grateful that he was at home when he passed a sour home, his home was the only place he knew since we adopted him years ago.  It has been a week already and I miss him so very much!!! I feel him with me though in all that I do. 
Jimi and I decided to have him cremated.  I just spoke to the vet and his ashes are ready for us.  I will be creating a very special Urn for him as I had done for our Cat Leela. He will take his place on our Alter/Mantle where he will be remembered and honored by us.

Thank you for listening and if you had left me a comment on my Previous post in Re. to the mad Tea Party, I had not personally responded due to getting through this last week.
I did however leave a general comment back to everyone who joined my Tea Party.
Thank you for your readership and leaving such beautiful and loving comments.
Much Love and Many Blessings,

P.S. In honor of Mr. Jackson I decided to create Hand~sewn Medicine Bags filled with Harvested Catnip from my Apothecary Garden as he absolutely loved his Catnip.  It was our Ritual to brush him with his special fur brush and then after grooming, he would receive his catnip. 
This little ritual created a very special bond and I believe that it will for others who enjoy spending time with their cats.

Feel free to message me if you would like to order a Hand`sewn Medicine Bag of Catnip.  You can see our note about it here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-kitty-committee/the-pampered-pussycat-shoppe-love-offering-from-the-kitty-committee-and-milady-l/1050683415014020

Our hope from the sales of these bags is to one day help other families with medical expenses for their felines.

Creating an Online Shopping Experience on Facebook

Hello Friends!
I decided to create an online Shopping Experience on Facebook.  It is basically going to be similar to my Etsy Boutique but just another way for me to share and make available the treasures I create.
this note will tell you a bit more about it♥

Hello Lovely Friends!

I am super excited to share with you that I will be creating an Online Shopping Experience here on My Milady Leela Facebook Page for you!

What does this mean exactly? Well, it means that I will be sharing an Album of my Artful Work that I have Created along with Art that can be Custom Ordered. You will be able to Message me from the link I will attach to the Album as well as the Photo associated with the Treasure you are interested in. This Online experience allows both you and I to communicate about the Treasures you are interested in prior to your purchase. I have also created this experience to avoid fees for you and me that are sometimes included with other online shopping platforms. I am looking forward to building this Experience as not only a way for you to communicate with me but also with others by interacting on the photo posts I will have within.

Stay tuned, as I will be sharing this Album of my Artful Work on The Milady Leela Facebook Page soon!

Copy and Paste this link into your Bookmarks as it will be the link in which to privately message me and to place/confirm your order.

Much Love and Many Blessings,

Milady Leela

Fashion and Felines

Last Night The Band performed in New Castle.  I posted a video of my Outfit of the Evening and share it here.



In addition I want to share a Facebook Page that I just created today.  I created it because I feel that there is a community of people that love cats just as much as I do and thought it would be a way for all of us to share things such as information, photo's and videos pertaining to all things cats.


Please take a moment to check out the page and join if it is something you are interested in. I hope you find it to be fun and informative. Below is the link.

Tutorial Tuesday...Nail Tips Second in the Series

Hi Everybody, today is Tuesday and it is time for the second video in my Nail Tips Series.  As you know, the Band played at the Hard Rock this past Saturday...I got to bed so late Sunday morning and slept until about 4pm.  Needless to say, I had a lot of things to do around my house that I just was not able to do.  So glad that I was able to post Sunday In Blog Land for you though. Unfortunately, I was not able to do a Mani Monday post.
So...with today's post, I will include the mani of the week as well as the video.

Have a beautiful week and I will be back soon!

Much Love,
♥♥♥

A Day In The Life....My Birthday

I celebrated a birthday on Monday.  This video pretty much sums up just how special it was.  I hope you enjoy it.



 Life is always twisting and turning us in so many directions...remember that Life is actually very short.  It is important to enjoy the people in your life and the things in your life that make you smile.  Each year, of course we become older but age is ONLY a number. Live your life beautifully. Be kind and good to yourself and to those around you, you will then find that there will be many moments that make you smile.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me here.

Much Love,

What a Great Day!

What a great day it was yesterday!!!! Jimi, Stefan and I were asked to be Judges for the Pittsburgh Pa X-Factor Auditions.
To be asked to be a Judge is truly such an honor! There was amazing talent but only 3 winners were selected to go to the next level. The winners selected are now guaranteed to have another audition in front of the X-Factor producers at the Rhode Island Auditions. This City's auditions will be televised on Fox TV so be sure to watch. I am not sure when but the information will be announced on Fox. While we were there yesterday, we were invited to attend a Grand Opening of a new Pittsburgh Club later that evening, so the Three of us went and checked it out. we had fun. This pic is not at all clear because it was very dark inside the club. I still think the pic is neat though. Then after the Club, Jimi and I went to see a Band...Obviously our Band was off so we do try to make it out to see our friends Band's when we can. It was a very busy music filled day and we had a Blast!
Also wanted to mention that there have been some changes to our Band. We have a new guitar player now and will be moving on to amazing new things. Change can be a good thing. Please continue to watch for The Sidewinder Band.....you never know where we may be.

Much Love,

P.S. Jimi and I also managed to squeeze in going to the Pittsburgh Symphony before meeting Stefan at the Club. The Symphony was incredible!!!!! I will say we had a very busy but amazing fun filled day of Music♥

Tutorial Tuesday and Some Pretty Hand Dyed Papers

Today is Tutorial Tuesday and so... I have a video to share and a DIY on how to create pretty hand dyed papers. The video below is an easy tutorial on how to create an updo for styling your hair. I would like to mention how I really enjoy making videos for you all and sharing my knowledge and ideas. Please let me know what you think of them by leaving me your comments, that would make me smile!



I also wanted to share this easy DIY with you on how to create pretty hand dyed papers. Since Easter was just here, I colored eggs and had left over dye.


I thought it would be fun to create colorful papers by using the left over dye. It is important to use a thin paper for this to work well so I chose to use coffee filters.
I really like the way the paper picks up the dye and I also think that the circular shape makes for an interesting look. All you have to do is place the coffee filters into the cups filled with the left over dye. Let them soak for about a minute and then take them out of the dye. Now drain them on a paper towel.


After they have drained for a bit, hang them to air dry. I use clothes pins.

When dry, you have a lovely assortment of pretty hand dyed papers.
You can use these colorful papers to make flowers, write notes, wrap small gifts or anything else you can think of. Give it a try...let me know what you have decided to do with your pretty papers.

Much Love,
