Crafty bumpies Looking for suggestions

I'm trying to keep my mind occupied since the season at the campground is over. As of now, I've crocheted a drawstring backpack, and nearly completed an afghan. I have boxes on top of boxes of yarn that my MIL gave me, but running out of ideas.

So, crafty ladies, what kind of crafts do you get into to keep your mind off things?

I'm thinking about getting some clear, glass Christmas ornaments and painting/decorating them... you can also fill them with fun things!

I knit, mostly afghans and scarves. I am also just getting into quilting, which is time and mind consuming.

Have you heard of craftgawker.com? I just found it a few weeks ago (I'm probably way late and everyone already knows about it). It's like Pinterest but just crafts.

Unfortunately, that's how I stumbled on to craftgawker but got stuck on foodgawker and then went to the fridge lol. It'll suck ya in every time.

My mom jus tasked me to knit her dog a sweater. I just checked out craftgawker.com and can foresee a lot of time spent there coming soon!

I am about to get into my Christmas crafting. I'm making ornaments, garland, trees and other decorations.

I'm also hand making Christmas presents this year. I already made some that have turned out awesome.

I'm also currently still knitting a scarf and a hat. :p I also make charms. That is my main hobby :

I really love sewing & quilting. But if you have a lot of yarn, this is a really good idea. It makes for great gifts. My MIL does these.

http://www.craftbits.com/project/yarn-covered-coat-hangers

But, when we do the loops, we only do one per color, so it's not a big stripe.

Now, each person in the family has their own special color hanger for their clothes. For example: mine is teal & brown. MH's is green & brown. My SIL has teal and navy blue.

I'm trying to add a pic, but it might take a while bec my comp & phone are both giving me problems right now.

ETA: This is my first time trying to add a pic to a post.... Hoping I do it right Embarrassed That SHOULD be MH's and my hangers that my MIL made.

I'm 22, My Husband is 30, we got married May, 2011 started TTC August of 2011. Started testing at a little over the year mark. I think I was afraid to find out if something was or wasn't wrong. Anyway finished all testing. All we found was no/weak ovulation. Dx: No/Weak ovulation: 1st round of clomind 11/2012 no response. Didn't do anything in December because of Holidays and everything. So waiting to start so we can to round 2 of clomid 2nd round of clomid: 1/2013 No response again. 3rd round of clomid: 2/2013 went up to 100mg. Got mature follicles. Go for P4 on 3/13.

I make wreaths, I love to switch up my door decor. I found a burlap wreath tutorial on Pinterest and that's what I've been doing a lot of lately. I like the yarn covered ones too but it's time consuming.

I don't sew, knit or crochet, I mostly do home decor things. Art, painting, pictures, arrangements - I wanted to decorate a cornucopia for the table at Thanksgiving but haven't got around to it yet.
