Soap making Recipes and Instructions by Elaine White Looks like it's an advertisement for her book, but includes lots of really good information.

Soap Making :  A ton of really great links and information about soap making...even has an article about old time soap making.
http://waltonfeed.com/old/soaphome.html

Kid's Domain Craft Exchange - I usually avoid kid's stuff, but this recipe for easy soap is perfect if you're after pretty shapes, not making your own soap from scratch.

The Way We Wore
Is a costuming business, with many pictures of clothing that they have reproduced for sale.  They have clothes from the 40's to the 70's.  I have never purchased from them, but I like to gape (and drool) at their clothes.

Cross Stitch & Embriodery
Offe's Cross-Stitch has a floss data base, which is brilliant if you need help converting DMC floss colors to Anchor, J.P. Coates, and others. (You can also convert things the other way around.) She also has her own free patterns and other cool things...

The Jantzen's Cross Stitch Page has a shareware version of Hobby Ware's Cross Stitch designer. I've tried it, and while it may not have all the fancy things other (for pay) programs have, it's really pretty neat.
