My husband & Mr. Marley

“If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.” ― Bob Marley      

My husband, Rob is an amazing musician who, like most, LOVES Bob Marley...

On our honeymoon 12 yrs ago, something that could have gone drastically wrong was corrected by a "miracle"... and then we heard on the radio:

 "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right! "

 Rob turned to me and said "See? Bob's lookin' after me!"

So when I came across this image today I had a little laugh to myself as I pressed print with the plan of posting it by his side of the bed.

Hmmm...it seems, dear husband o' mine, that Bob is lookin' after me!

Living in Ethiopia has been an amazing journey of many ups & downs...but one of the 'ups' has been my exposure to the textile designs of countries across this wonderful continent ~ from Sierra Leone to Uganda.

I love the textiles that are being designed and created here in Africa ~ 

they are full of colour, texture and originality.

But most importantly, they tell the visual story of the culture of each country and its people, all while making women look beautiful!

I think it is time for the rest of the world to start taking even more notice of the amazing textiles and fashion designers based here in Africa.
