Project needed

My husband was gone for a few days last week, traveling for work. While he was gone, I cleaned out my closet and dresser, and I created a pretty nice donation pile. I was very proud of myself because I have an unnatural attachment to clothing, particularly t-shirts. I've seen some really cool projects to make with t-shirts, but I think it'll probably lessen my chances of ending up on Hoarders one day if I just toss or donate the t-shirts that are more than ten years old. Baby steps.

Last night, my husband needed to spend some time doing homework, so I decided to clean out his closet and dresser. Though we have a huge pile for donation, cleaning out the closets didn't take nearly as long as I hoped it would. I still had time to kill, and I spent the rest of the night trying to figure out how I could occupy my down time.

I enjoy reading and I just bought a couple of books to read for pleasure, but I need to find something more hands-on than reading. I need a project. I need something to keep me busy for multiple hours over an extended period of time. I need to do something.

My fall back project is scrapbooking. I have a great loft area with all my scrapbook supplies set up, and I really could spend hours working on my albums. I have hundreds of pictures that need to be sorted and cropped and put into albums. But I really want to do something else - something new. Something awesome.

I can't sew or knit, and I'm renting so I can't do anything to my home. I also don't want to spend a ton of money. And at the end of it all, I don't want to have a crafty piece of crap. Any ideas?
