Keeping Busy

I've been able to do a little sewing.  Naragansett Greens came out to play--

No design wall in the camper, I used hair clips to attach the rows to the woodwork above the slide out.  I was worried it would be a bit blah, or worse, like boring green salad, but I think its going to have enough variety and zinger fabrics.

The weather was cool today, and I like to set my crockpot outside to cook.  The aluminum picnic table works perfect.  To help keep my crockpot warm, I covered it with a cardboard box--

The box fit tight enough the wind didn't blow it off, but about an inch of clearance  kept it from overheating at the bottom.  A fireman once told me he'd seen lots of house fires caused by malfunctioning crockpots, and he said the safest places were 1)on top your stove  2)in your kitchen sink 3)on a concrete floor (basement/garage).  Not your cupboard or anywhere it could ignite or melt what its setting on.  It was a dry cold windy day--the picnic table was perfect.  The beef stroganoff turned out tasty!
