..I have been honoured by my awesome friend Joyce with a blog award, wow... cool... awesome ... words escape me... Hehe...
Anyway as a recipent of this award I must regale you all with seven lovely, interesting and amusing facts about Moi, Me the one and only Zyatica...
well here goes (forgive me in advance for rambling)....
1. I have a wacky sense of humour as you may have guessed. Despite the wacky sense of humour I consider myself a fun loving and interesting person.
2. I have been a primary teacher for one year - unfortunatley not with my own class but excitingly as a casual teacher at a very modern school that is striving into the realm of 21st Century teaching... I love teaching and look forward to what this year brings whether some fulltime work or more casual teaching that is sure to keep me on my toes.
3. After some prompting from some lovely friends I turned a hobby of mine into a business (its just starting) - so far I have had one jewllery party and sold a few items. I started combining a love of crochet with beads to make some lovely bead rope necklaces and braceletts and earrings. I love to experiment and have started looking at bending wire and creating some custom pieces (stay tuned I have several started but have yet to finish and post). I also started my own little made it shop at Zyatica Creations. I have yet to sell anything - mind I only have 5 items listed and these things take time.
4. I was a chef in my previous life (aka pre-kids). I do love cooking and love to get into the kitchen and bake yummy deserts. I also love getting in there now with my beautiful boys and cooking up a storm.
5. I am a big kid at heart - I love birthday parties and having two boys I truly enjoy planning party days for them ( and me ) as well as their friends to particiapate in. The latest one (this Saturday) involes 4 lovely friends and one day of fun - wii games, craft, baking, movies and PARTY!!!!!... I am so looking forward to it all...
6. I am a very creative person - love challenges whether using my hands or a computer. I ahve tried my hand at the following and love it all -
* crochet
* knitting
* beading
* scrapping booking in an album and digital
* collage
* decoupage
* Painting with acrylic
* papiermache
* drawing (though not too good at it)
* use excel to create useful workbooks - one day to be used in my teaching
* created animations with playdough, toys and a computer
the list goes on I have tried so many things that to list them all may bore you ....:)
7. I started this blog years ago as a university assignment for my teaching degree and it is only in the last few months have I been inspired to use it to display my craft and goings on. The inspiration came from a lovely friend (same one who nominated me) by her lovely writings and ramblings. I was stoked to have only one watcher and of recent I now have two.. its been a slow start but Iam sure it will pick up eventually...
Anyway cyber world that is 7 facts about me, about what may or may not make me tick....
So to continue I must nominate some blogs. The first one I know has been nominated but I think it is awesome and I constantly check it out for her whitty comments and goings on.

2011 - A new year and a new adventure
Well its 2011, ten days infact into 2011.
Already it appears to be flying by, it is the summer holidays here and I guess you wouldn't really know it as it has been wet, wet, sunny and wet yet again.
Currently its is raining again, we are blessed here as we haven't been inundated with water, unlike our fellow Australians up north in Queensland. Just today on the news another life lost and another town under water, when will it end. It is sad to think of people losing possessions, but these can be replaced. Losing a life and a loved one at that, is horrific. I also heard on the news about two very silly girls who decided to body board in the storm water, and people who decide to drive through water, do they not see the news and see how dangerous it is?????
Anyway back to something happy it is the holidays here (only 21 days left) and we have managed to attend the beach quiet a few times, what fun it is doing things as a family and with friends.
In 5 days my oldest baby turns 8, so we ahve been busy planning a humungous playdate birthday party - as I forgot to get some numbers before school ended - it has been decided to have a playdate party. This is going to be a fun day doing things that No.1 loves doing - craft, baking, movies, wii and of course the finally is a party.
I have been getting organised into what craft we can do so far we are going to make jewellery boxes from popsicle sticks and then decorated with beads and other bits and pieces (my plan is to use these as the party favours - fill them with goodies shhh... dont tell anyone.)... For the baking we are going to bake rainbow cupcakes and later in the day we will decorate with lollies and super yummy Betty Crocker icing...
We may also do some other baking but will decide later... then will come a movie - Depicable Me for the tenth time.. whose counting hehe... and Wii games - possibly wii fit...
I am looking forward to the day, he has 4 friends coming over and it shall be a fun day. Then after we have dinner with the family.
I have made a few jewllery pieces, one a bracelet I wasn't completly happy with so I pulled it to bits, the beads - wire wrapped are nice and already are being reused into a few other pieces involving a thing a ma jig and some bended wire.
I know I haven't mentioned what new adventure is ahead for us, at this present time I ahve no idea, but I am sure as the year progresses I will find out....
Cheers all off to chat, surf and create....
