I can relate to that. I made 12 crocheted flowers last night while watching Dr. Who. Even though some counting is required, you kind of just get into the motion of it and don't need to pay much attention to what you're doing.

I think I'm getting close to being ready to assemble this thing. Just chose primary colors + an off-white for the flowers and alternated the combinations (one color for the middle, one for the petals). My choice in greens is either a really pale yellowish green, or a dark green. I think I'll use the lighter one. Not sure if 12 flowers will be enough, hmm.. Will try to take some progress pictures later today. :)
