a shout-out to yarn jeannie!

HELP YARN JEANNIE! Give me some encouragement, or else pray that I wouldn't be so scattered!

I'm going to a baby shower TONIGHT and have re-started this small baby blanket 3 times now.
1. Started as a large standard granny square which I frogged.
2. Went to a waves pattern which I frogged.
3. Began a standard Project Linus pattern of sideways shells which I loved, but frogged because I realized I didn't have enough yarn.
4. Switched back to the granny which I hate because it's so blah...do you have any ideas to jazz-up a granny square beyond the dc 3, ch 3 at the corners; dc 3 ch 1 on the sides? I just can't think I'm so frustrated! I'm working with 3 colors: soft pink, soft chocolate brown and a muted raspberry...think "chocolate covered cherries".

I think it's a given that I will be giving a card with a note at the shower tonight, explaining that the blanket is in the works...
