I would suggest "making up" a business that either does what your current employer does or what your customers do (something you have a decent understanding of). Design a database that will be able to manage the type of data you deal with and a front-end (or multiple front ends) to interface with your database. Try out different things like seperating your project into it's Presentation Layer, Business Logic Layer, and Data Layer. If you feel real ambitious after you have a pretty good model to work from, port it to the web (having split you layers will help with this). When I hit the point where I had been learning everything I could about VB and was looking for an excuse to use it, a customer of the supply company that I worked for wanted an app to help him determine materials costs and quote jobs. It took a couple of months and I shudder to look at that code now, but I produced a full-fledged database app that met all of his requirements. Ask people you know if they need anything.
