Pat and the gentle arts

My darling Pat died last month. He was almost 18. He was such an affectionate cat and I miss him terribly. Just thinking about him makes me weepy.

So... I have let myself become absorbed in Jane Brocket's books:

• The gentle art of domesticity
• The gentle art of quiltmaking and
  
• The gentle art of knitting

I can't recommend these books enough. Not only are the photos beautiful and the projects desirable but her writing is inspirational. And I love her 'give-it-a-go' attitude.
I want to buy and possess all of her books, give up work and embrace domesticity.
