Welcoming committee???

I received my ballot in the mail this weekend and I've been working diligently on researching the items at hand so I can cast my vote. I've worked my way through the state issues and the last item on my ballot is a City and County of Denver ordinance item. Okay, important city issues - roadways, noise, community safety...

Nope.

The creation of an extraterrestrial affairs commission. Um yeah - you read that right. A commission just in case there is contact by little green men. And what will this commission do? "ensure the health, safety and cultural awareness of Denver residents and visitors in relations to potential encourters or interactions with extraterrestrial intelligent beings or their vehicles"

At least it's to be funded from grants, gifts, and donations...not tax money. Important stuff we're dealing with here! Solid proof that it was WAY too easy to get items place on the ballot in the State of Colorado. I wonder if this will actually pass.

Monsters monsters everywhere...

I made a monster yesterday. He's blue with a red polka dotted bow-tie. But his orange hair just isn't quite right. It's supposed to look like a spikey mowhawk do, but instead I got an orange crown. I'll have to work on that more tonight.

I'm making a monster quilt for my cute little six-year old monster. Which was originally an ironic nickname, but as her six-year-oldness has begun to kick in more I'm starting to question the irony.

Oh well, regardless I think these cute little hand appliqued monsters will be a lot of fun. I absolutely love the bright colors.

Meanwhile the little girl cut a bunch more squares for her quilt yesterday. She only needs about twenty more and then she can start sewing! The husband is well into his third quilt top and will be learning to machine applique with a satin stitch very soon.
