crochet slowdown

I have about 11 strips, 6 inches by 6 feet done. I need to start numbering them.   But I am not doing as many right now, I started - and finished - the start one new thing a day for the first 15 days of 2011 challenge, and it included 2 crochet projects, a baby blanket (lion brand pattern, Vanna's choice yarn that I bought ages ago on clearance) (another part of the challenge for me was to start only stuff that was already in the house).  The other, a single bed blanket, came to me in a vision!  I have not seen anything like it, I started with a rectangle and am now working in "circles" around it.  But occasionally turning so that it will be a little off -center (kind of like me). In blues and purples, stuff I already have, but  I will have to buy more to complete a blanket. Not sure where it will go, colors are too intense for the guest room, but then, maybe I will paint it. Kind of like the Pantene color of the year, I forget the name, a vibrant pink.  Today I am working on a Funky Flower from By the Bay. It's cross stitch and  I truly hope to get it finished today. We shall see. I barely started it last week.
