Why did I crochet a cushion?

You may or may not know that about a year (or so) ago I crocheted a blooming flower cushion, it was the main reason I learn't to crochet, but I never really talked about it here. I mentioned finishing it in a craft post and didn't much about it so today I want to tell you why I made it, how I found out about it and if I will ever do it again.
