50 different scarves

I watched Julie & Julia today. While watching the movie I realized that just like Julie, I need a goal or a time frame. I also start projects and don't complete them. Things that I want to do get added to a long term to-do list but get pushed to a later start date and most of the time get forgotten..... never get to start working on them.
So to keep things simple I want to start with crochet, I want to make 50 different scarves in ..... should I give myself a time frame? I am a home maker, a mother of a 10 month old baby and have minor health issues that don't go away like allergies and migraines and sinus. So a time frame feels like a bad idea, 'coz if I don't finish the scarves in time then I will feel worse than better.
So, in the spirit of keeping life simple and enjoying things rather than feeling pressurized ..... I will make 50 scarves in 50 different patterns.
No, I will not embark on a cooking adventure. I find creating things with crochet more relaxing.

colors, crochet and cooking..... a begining

I love colors, I like crochet and I want to be a better cook ...... so colors, crochet and cooking.
When I search online, for crochet patterns or for recipes, I find too many results. Most of which are easy to make, I get excited and want to try the new pattern or the recipe but get caught up in daily chores and soon forget about them.
With so many people sharing their recipes and crochet creations for free, it has become so easy for me to just sit at home read and learn new things. I don't have to go to a bookstore to buy books or join cookery or hobby classes.

I want to save these links here, I want to find the time to make new things in crochet, try new recipes and share these patterns and recipes with everyone with similar interests.
