2012 in Review

2012 ~ a year in review 
  • I traveled to France, Italy, Mexico, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and throughout California to teach
  • I was away from home teaching about 11 of the 52 weeks (though it felt like more!) 
  • I taught about 70 classes/workshops (probably more)
  • I was published in Cloth Paper Scissors, Quilting Arts, Pages,  and Studios magazine.
  • I got a new website JaneLaFazio.com

  • I really embraced my word for 2012: preparation.I got organized: with class handouts, spreadsheets and google calendar and being as prepared as I could be for my students and my life.
  • 5 years of teaching an after school art program to 4th and 5th graders ~ Mundo Lindo ~ as my friend Susie says, possibly my most lasting legacy.

  • 214 blog posts in 2012, here on JaneVille. I love my blog and work hard on it. I hope you love it too. I'm changed the comment thingey, so it will be easier for you to leave comments, so please do. I love hearing from you!

  • I created Interviews as Inspiration, a regular feature on my blog, and I've done 7 interviews in 2012 of  people I admire, with more to come.
  • 12 new tutorials this year, you can see them all on my Tiny Tutorials page.

  12. I've never met you, Jane (but I hope to...maybe 2013...) BUT I get a sense from your blog that you are an amazing individual! You seem like such a fun-loving and special soul!One of the things I do is teach yoga...must find the shirt about being kind that appears in your kindness chronicles! All the best to you on this auspicious occasion of beginnings!
