Craft motivation needed

I feel like im in a crochet/knitting rutt! Like the weather got warm and i have absolutely no motivation to crochet or knit at all.  Yarn in the lap is warm and with warm weather it doesn't do well. I hate being hot. I get motivation for yarn crafts in the fall once it cools down and all.  Hope i can find some soon becouse i want to badly just hands don't want to work it seems when warm.  It's like is rather paint than crochet right know.  Hmmm anyone else get that way with different things from cooking or etc.

Wine glass painting

Tonight i got to do one of my favorite hobbies,  and it's painting.  Very relaxing for me.  I decided to do a wine glass with wine being pored into ít to give it more life.
