Great list Grae. My mum has always had spinning wheels and when I was a kid all my woolen sweaters had been created by my mum from scratch - she would spin yarn from a fleece (sometimes she would even source the fleece herself from road kill) and then knit sweaters. She taught me how to spin yarn but I haven't done it myself since I was a child. Same with knitting.

Mum has a hand loom too (currently disassembled because it takes up a lot of room) and has made several rugs. It took a long time to make each rug though.

Also my mum and her husband keep bees and mum makes mead (only in small amounts). Yum. And mum always has a vegetable and herb garden (she is a botanist as well as being a very avid gardener).
