Default Out of ideas... what to tie?

Normally during the winter months I tie a bunch of assorted trout flies (that I mostly never use).
Last open water season I was handing out many flies to other guys to help them out and just so I'd have a reason to tie some more.
This winter I've tied very few cuz there doesn't seem to be any patterns that are interesting that I haven't already tied a million of. I know this is impossible, but I can't even bring myself to search the web for something new.
Looking for advice.

The last few of winters I've done all the standard stuff:

many, many assorted nymphs
soft hackles
micro leeches
balanced leeches
unbalanced leeches
a billion chironomids
matukas
minnows
emergers
enough dry flies to choke a horse
boobies
blobs
boatmen, backswimmers
tons of pike flies
streamers

Big and small, I've tied them all. Hahaha!
Any ideas would be appreciated. Bored.
