Garden Cushion

Last week I had to go to my parents' place. My mother is not doing well, again. In times like these I feel so so so helpless. I just want to do something that will make things better for them. But we have been asked to wait patiently, as the recovery will be very slow. I feel so tired at times.

Let me share with you something I made before I left.


Now I am back at my place for a short break and I thought I will take pictures of my garden cushion and share it with you. Feeling a bit better after this.


I had this idea in my mind since a long time. The butterfly pattern is from here and the leaf pattern is from here. For the flower I read a few patterns and came up with my own version. I really wanted a snail and couldn't find a pattern, so made it myself.


I will be back at the hospital next week. Hope things get better soon. Please pray that my mother recovers fast. Notice the contrast in this post? I am blogging about a very depressing thing and a very cheerful pillow at the same time. Why? I don't know.

    Life is full of contradictions. Maybe that's why. I hope your mother will be better soon. And I love your pillow, especially the snail. :-)

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's health. I've not really been checking out the blogs lately and didn't know at all about this. Please know that I'm praying for your Mom and hope she has a speedy recovery. It's very scary when you see your Mom's health failing.
    I have faced this few years back ...and it was daunting! Thankfully, my mom recovered and is fine now...even though regular follow ups and check ups are needed. I'm just thankful to God that she is okay. Insha Allah , I pray the same for yours.
    I'm glad you are doing your projects amidst all this difficult time . It helps to keep sane. Looks like your pain has made your work even more beautiful. This garden pillow is so cheerful and pretty. Great job. Shows your mind is positive inspite of everything. God bless you and your family.Hugs to you!
    Cheers,
    Yasmin
