Definitely handspinning, weaving, sewing, rughooking, and quilting.
I told Chelle last week that I wanted to adopt a granny to teach me all types of things.

Quilting, I've been saving fabrics for years and one of these days I'm gonna make a quilt! LOL, I've been saying that for years.
Make baskets from pine needles.
Learn to knit.
Dehydrate foods.
Make rugs from fabric scraps.
Make soap, but I'm a chicken when it comes to working with lye.:chicken:
And I'd love to learn to do some woodworking like making cedar chests and elaborate birdhouses (I can make a simple one), and cute shelves, etc.

Rug making, sewing (well enough to make my own clothes) knitting, crocheting, anything my great grandmother might have done....:D

quilting and basket making for me. i would love to do both. spinning would be kewl too i can just see me with a spinning wheel in the guest room. that would actually look good in there when it is completed.
