Your best bet is increasing the ISO or purchasing a faster lens (if its a DSLR). Increasing the shutter speed won't help you. Your pictures are blurry because your camera has to decrease the shutter speed in order to properly expose your shots. Increasing the shutter speed will result in sharper photos but they will be quite underexposed. I don't know what kind of camera you have but this is what I would do. Put it into manual, or aperture priority (A), bump the ISO to 800-1600, and force the camera to shoot at your lowest f-stop. It will probably be f 3.5 or f 2.8. If your camera still can't produce clear images, there is really very little you can do aside from getting close and using a dedicated flash.
Hope that helps, or at least explains a bit. Also, I'm assuming that you are taking these pictures indoors and not outdoors. If you're outdoors, then increasing the shutter speed would help.
