Look good man - pretty much covers the bases of all of my tying these days.

Hare and Coppers crossed with Pheasant Tails - the odd caddis

Nice job. Two years in, you're nailing it.
Woolly Buggers are so versatile - from wet lining in the likes of the Tongariro, through to lake fly fishing and jigging. All with variations in weight, colour and size.
Same with bead head nymphs - from mayflies to cased caddis, depending on the materials and size. 

As Rainbow has said in a number of his posts, tying your own flies provides so many opportunities to experiment - and a massive amount of satisfaction when you catch fish on your own creations.
it can also be a big cost saver if you base your fly selection on patterns which use the likes of hare, possum and rabbit fur, pheasant tails, which you can get from hunters, road kill etc.

Keep it up, those flies look great.

Nice looking nymphs.
Have you mashed the barbs down?
