It may feel to you that your "normal" life came to an abrupt halt and there's just a striking void in their absence with all the activity that was once there. A friend once said after her youngest left the home "i feel like i was forced into early retirement". This was said almost more like a question than a statement. I felt the same way but within 24 hours i had already started to notice there were some pluses involved also! I appreciated the slower pace w/ less stress and rush in my life. it sounds as tho your creative juices are flowing and there's no shortage of ideas/plans... so i think this lull is due to a sense of loss bc we are so used to being relied upon and needed for so much. it might be good for you to sign up for a class ...it'll get you out of the house ..offer a bit of social stimulation and has built-in deadlines. deadlines are good to get yourself moving! you can even resort to a self-imposed deadline such as to complete a quilty gift for someone by a certain date. BUT... waiting til you feel motivated is just as legit. it will come again...when you're ready for it.
