[lifestyle] Crafts/ hobbies that don't take up too much space?

19 Upvotes

I'm very into arts and crafts, my problem is having to either find a place for the things I make or store things and it feels wasteful to make something just for it to sit in storage like an embroidery piece for example. I avoid having too many things on shelves or on the walls so I won't have to dust as frequently. Does anybody have any ideas?

Edit: pls suggest stuff that has low energy requirements and that's not mentally taxing I'm both physically disabled and have cognitive impairments

Ty for everyone's ideas so far! 🙂

[lifestyle] Kitchen utensils

What utensils do you think are the most versatile in the kitchen? Also what material is the best, do you prefer silicone or wood or steel? I love cooking and I see a lot of different gadgets for it, but I am not sure which are useful and which are completely unnecessary.

[lifestyle] Minimalist cleaning product

0 Upvotes

I'm someone who long ago did away with having separate soap/shampoo/conditioner and instead just uses soap. Lately, I've just taken to using hand washing dish soap for my body as well, so I was wondering if there is any product that is at least serviceable for laundry / dishes/personal hygiene/surface cleaning. I'm not necessarily looking for something that disinfects in and of itself, although that would be useful too. Just want something I can grab and go with for everything.
