What about making something special for you and siblings if there are any. Have you seen the scarves where you put the threads between two layers of wash away stabilizer and then stitch them down? I did something similar, only I put a piece of contrasting fabric down, then put threads all over that and then put down the layer of washaway. I stitched all over that and then had a piece of fabric to make a bag out of.
Could be a jumping point of something fun to to?
