African Skies Handwoven Blanket #3

African skies; memories woven into my handmade blankets.

This beautiful blanket is one of a series; inspired by our journeys in #Tanzania last year.

This adventure with our family was particularly important for me, because I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage with my balance issues since my brain malfunctioned in 2023. Our boys reassured me they would help if I needed help walking; or assistance getting up if I face-planted; so with my family’s support and encouragement, I decided to just go for it and I was journeying again!!!! @idoamazingthings

Weaving these blankets is an expression of how grateful I am for my family and how amazing they were helping me; and how with their support, and through taking a leap of faith and being resilient, I DID actually manage and have the most wonderful experiences. The landscape was breathtaking. Seeing the animals in their habitats was humbling.

This trip to Africa was significant for me. Love to know in the comments below, what journeys you’ve had that when you look upon them in hindsight, were also significant to you.

No plastics used in my blankets

DM via Insta DM VIA INSTA  if you are interested in purchasing any of my handwoven blankets.
