I mentioned in last Sunday's blog that a bag saved me. It cushioned me from hitting the ground hard. If I hadn't had it on me, I may have hit my head on the floor and my shoulder would have been injured too. I had just finished making the bag before I was hospitalized a few weeks ago. I made it from one of Mom's unfinished projects.
It's been years since I made myself a hand bag. My needs are different now since I lug around my packet of prescriptions and a few other essentials. I also wanted to have something that reminds me of my Mom whenever I go out. One of the unfinished projects she made were pieced together charm fabric. I remember I bought it for her either when she was in Singapore or I had sent it to Miggy during the pandemic.
Mom has an eye for color, so she was able to piece together the charm fabric perfectly. I liked the color and thought a cheery bag is what I need nowadays. Here's how I made the bag -
I finished the bag two days before Sweetie brought me to the ER. It didn't leave my side the whole time we were in the hospital. We were about to leave for a check-up last Friday when I missed a step and fell from the stairs. The bag definitely cushioned my fall. It was fat because I had extra eco-bags and a jacket inside. It softened my fall and kept my head from hitting the floor. My fluffiness saved the rest of my body and I ended up with just a contusion.
Thank you Mom for watching over me. Miss you and love you.
