Book Review of The Gentle Art of Domesticity: Stitching, Baking, Nature, Art & the Comforts of Home

I gave the book 1 star for the pictures. Other than that, it is useless. The book is 288 pages but contains only 11 recipes and 25 projects. The rest of it is filled with pictures of yarn, jellybeans, flowers, buttons, etc. The author thinks that her life is so entertaining, she must share mundane stories about her baking, quilting and the like. If you are looking for a book that shows you how to stitch, bake and other comforts of home, this isn't it!
