I am still not sure what I'll do that's creative, after the gifts I'm making are done. I need more of my sweater pants (https://permies.com/t/92062/ungarbage/Upcycling-clothes#753593), I put the 3 sweaters I have for them into my sewing pile this morning. Not very creative, but stuff I need.
What are you doing? Got any fun projects cued up? Any neat ideas I or others might want to try to?
:D

Once that's all set, I'm so backlogged on construction, herbal, and sewing projects, I'll never get them all done. Many are mending/ repair, some are new projects. But, the next 2 construction projects are indoor ones; first, my murphy-style cutting/crafting table, for my sewing/craft room and second, a firewood cabinet, at the side of the fireplace. Then, I'm going to build the painters' easel I've always wanted, but could never justify the cost of, and Start painting and drawing, again.
I have 3 fleeces to process and choose projects for, and boxes of gorgeous yarn (bought at obscenely low prices, on sale) to turn into... somethings. It seems like every time I turn around, there is something new to add to my creative to-do list!

Soon I'll start a new knitting project, involving Dutch Shetland wool (ordered online from Wools Of Holland). At the moment I have two projects here near me: knitting a new rib on an old (yes, very old) knitted piece of underwear, the other making wool-filled wool (old blanket) pillows which will be inside my 'haybox'. Somewhere else the materials for a crochet throw (bright colours of cotton) are waiting, as well as some things planned to 'upcycle'.
Before next year's gardening season starts I'd like to have an 'outdoor kitchen' made of pallet wood. And I want to do some more BBs with wood (green wood and dimensional lumber).
Photos will come later ... (I had a problem with uploading)

Is the 'haybox' you speak of a place to sleep? If so, how do you like it? Is it loose hay or what? I'm very interested in alternatives to or improvements on my moss-filled mattress.

I enjoyed my walk in the bush in search for the perfect sticks needed, came home and cleaned them up with a sharp knife, put it together and voila, I made my first ball of yarn. It’s slow going but relaxing non the less:-)
