Yet another thing that I fit into my 'spare time' is embroidery. I'll try just about anything at least once. Some of my favourite types of embroidery are counted cross stitch, hardanger, smocking and reproduction antique band samplers.
Some of my current projects are:
"Sleeping Beauty" by Mirrabillia
"Sugar and Spice" Heirloom Christmas Stocking (from Cross Stitch and Country Crafts Magazine)
"The Frances
Cheyney Sampler" reproduction sampler by L'Essamplaire
Here's a few links to some good embroidery sites.
