Do you ever get that feeling? You know, when you're just aching to do something, anything, creative? I usually get that feeling when I'm tired. Go figure. In this case, I'm tired and feeling nasty from this cold. Plus, I am so incredibly frustrated because I don't really have anything to create. So throw me some ideas, I just want to do something!
Here's what's on my list of things to make:
Curtains for my living room, as well as both bedrooms, but mostly my living room, I'm still looking for the right fabric
A piece of wall art that will be a gift for a friend, actually two pieces, actually I just need frames
Our wedding album, I need to order prints and buy the actual album, hopefully I can find one downstate, otherwise I have everything else
Do you see the trend here? I have part of what I need for everything. Well, that is, if you count an idea a part of something. I do!
I was thinking of buying this chandelier from IKEA for my dark little living room:
Buuuut, now I'm thinking I should just make one. That is, if I can make one for even less than this costs. Somewhere along the lines of a wire basket hung upside down decorated with some kind of beads or sparkly things. I know it wouldn't be hard, it's just a matter of IF I'll ever get around to doing it, and I want a light NOW.

So it kinda looks like you have a good list of projects going...not sure you need to add to it!
I just saw a really awesome chandelier that you could put your own take on! Seriously, like two seconds before I hit your blog.
Here is the URL, it's the one made with the wire basket and beaded garland. I love it!:
