Basically any of my cross-stitched works. It's very time consuming and can get sort of tedious, but it's super rewarding to turn a bunch of colored string into a piece of art.
A sampler I sewed when I was five. It has my name in full, date of construction, a house complete with pond, four large, individually coloured fancy flowers and a vegetable plot! I found it in my mum's stuff after she died.
I've built quite a few opening display cases for treasured collectibles. One of my favorites was for a Colt 44 Special single action revolver. Here is a link that has a couple of photos and describes how I built it.
A wooden toy box for my son's first Christmas. I had almost not woodworking experience, although I was comfortable around tools. Turned out better than expected.

A volcano. That was cool.

Gosh yes I feel the same about my needlepoint.

My father is a blacksmith. So I've learned a few things, I made a broadsword by the swing of a hammer. Pretty cool!
I'm so jealous right now. :)
