Home skills and crafts

KountryLife.com: A Country Living Resource and Community: The heart of this site is its discussion boards, and the edited, searchable archives of topics discussed on those boards.
DoItYourself.com: A vast resource of information to guide you through hundreds of home improvement and repair projects. There are also well-organized forums where everything from furniture refinishing to roofing is being discussed. And for those who then realize they're not up to doing it themselves, you can find a local contractor who can do it for you (U.S. only).
The Old Farmer's Almanac: The Old Farmer's Almanac puts some of its content online, including a collection of household tips.
How to cook on a woodstove: This article gives a firsthand account of learning to cook on a wood-burning stove, and offers invaluable advice for newbies. While it certainly requires more attention than cooking with gas or electic, if you're heating your home with a wood stove, why not cook on it, too?
Soap Making: How to make your own soap at home, with both traditional and modern recipes and complete instructions.

Questions and Answers (from Home Education Magazine): A very useful set of articles and resources for parents of homeschoolers, including a FAQ for parents considering home schooling, and links to support groups.
Other Homeschooling Web Sites (from the HomeSchool Association of California): A listing of online resources selected by the HomeSchool Association of California. These annotated links are grouped in two categories: general homeschooling sites and homeschooling sites with a religious orientation.
Childbirth Resource Center: From the Wholisitic Midwifery School in Southern California, a hyperlinked discussion of everything from pregnancy exercises to postpartum support.

A rich collection of homebirthing resources, from the UK. (A no-frames version of the Home Birth Reference Site is available here.)
