I have a big wall in my living room that still needs a little something. Abstract is easy ish, I can match the colors to the decor, and I can get a large canvas for far less than finished art would cost.
I too feel absolved. Lol.

Large scale art pieces. It’s not too hard to learn to make “abstract” art and I actually got better at it.
Clothing. I can’t afford some of the things I love and learning how to sew is a good skill no matter what. Being able to alter things a bit and add embroidery can change an entire piece. My favorite is a Chanel style suit I made myself. It took forever but it fits like a dream and I saved myself thousands of dollars.

Reply to comment by ConfusedNegi in Can anyone recommend a stovetop whistling kettle that doesn't have a plastic handle and coating that peels off? Just an old school basic stainless steel whistling kettle without a point of failure in the handle? by anarchisticmeerkat
As an American I did not grow up with an electric kettle being a thing in our home. As an adult I don’t think I could live without one. It’s great for tea but also for just heating water quickly. If i need a moderate amount of boiling water I will start it in the kettle and then add it to the pan on the stove because it’s so much quicker. Adding a bit of hot water for cleaning is awesome too. Just overall super useful.

Oh my goodness that is lovely! I will add it to my list of things to purchase if my ridiculously wealthy husband dies in unexpected and mysteriously tragic circumstances.

I LOVE our Bosch. Rinse the chunks of food off and it will clean anything else. The third rack is awesome for cooking spoons and sippy cup lids. The thing holds a ton and you cannot hear it. We got a whirlpool when we bought the house and it was so loud you would have to talk over it 15’ away. I can make a phone call on speaker next to my Bosch.

I have a box from 2008 that I may be a third of the way through. I salute you.

I have a hand crank desk from ikea that is the same idea as this. I LOVE it.
