ORIGAMI BASKET

The other day i saw these chocolate panettones baked in folded paper cases on wild yeast blog.

I just love handmade stuff and i knew i had make these cute lil baskets.You can find detailed instructions on how to make these origami baskets here.

I used 13 cms x 20 cms baking paper.

Firstly mark the center of the longer side ( at 10 cms)(you can also mark the center of the shorter side and continue with the rest of the steps to make a longer basket)

Fold the two sides towards the marked center point.

Fold the corners(as shown in the picture) towards the center,leaving almost 1 cms from the center line.

Repeat this for all the 4 corners as shown in the picture.

Now fold each 1cms flap upwards .

Press the side to form a sharp corner after insert your thumb into a corner as a guide.

Repeat this with the rest of the corners.

I used these baskets to make egg less carrot cake !! They make perfect christmas/new year gifts!!!

Ballard designs inspiration

I loveeeeee these cute lil ceramic bottles from Ballard designs. Isn't that beautiful?????

They are plain but thatz jus what i liked...mmmm..but....its almost $49 for a set of 5 ....mmmm.......itzzz jus completely out of my price range.
but i really wanted a few of those.....then i started thinking and realized that i could actually make the same thing myself.yeahhh...i spray painted a few glass bottles that i had ,to create somethin similar.....
let me tell u how to do it..
You will need a few glass bottles,spray paint of your choice of colour,and clear -top coat (glossy or matte).
Firstly clean the bottle well,make sure the surface is free from dirt and grease,etc.Remove the cap and the mettalic rim from the bottle.

Now give the first coat of spray paint.let it dry....i feel several thin coats of paint allowing each coat to dry for at least 10 minutes ,are better than one heavy coat.

Spray the final layer of clear top coat.(optional) ..
look at the result!!!i love them..

Khayangan Estate,Bali

Bali is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.If milessssss of sandy beaches,picturesque rice terraces,faaaast flowing rivers,pristine crater lakes,sacred caves,lush tropical forests...................... are in your mind ,then you have to be in BALI.

Bali offers you a list of private,luxury resorts and villas.

i have fallen in love with this beauuuuuutifuul,exotic and magical resort -'Khayangan Estate' ,Bali.Here are a few glimpses of the same.

The Sultan President Suite

The name ‘Khayangan’ comes from the Sanskrit word for ‘Seventh Heaven’. This private Bali villa estate is stunning and heavenly. In fact, we believe it is the very best of the Bali luxury villas. It is situated in Uluwatu,next to Bvlgari Bali Resort, in one and a half hectares of lovely gardens. It rests on a cliff top, 170 metres above a white sand beach. The estate offers one of the best views in Bali, with a 180 degree vista of the Indian Ocean. There are few other luxury Bali villas with such a good view.

The estate’s charm lies in its unique design. It comprises two clusters of traditional, antique, wooden Javanese houses, known as joglos. These were once the homes of noble men. They have been carefully grouped to echo the feeling of a historical village in Java. And they have now been transformed into private Bali villas. The villas are set in a huge terraced garden, with dense beds of yellow irises, gently swaying palms, and fragrant flowering trees. Khayangan is totally unique. It is quite different from any other luxury Bali villa or luxury Bali resort.

The original charm of these one hundred year old buildings has been preserved. The Bali luxury villas are completed with old teak wood. Here, you will find rich furnishings and decoration, as well as state of the art entertainment and communication facilities. Bathrooms are the sexiest on the island, especially those of the two master bedrooms. Each has a private water garden, where a dreamy bath tub appears to float in a clear pond. The design of this luxury Bali villa estate presents guests with the choice of a three bedroom or a six bedroom renting option. There are two big swimming pools, two smaller pools, and a chilled plunge pool. There is also a business centre, a cliff edge gazebo, a tennis court, a gym, and a lavish spa.
