sipping saturday morning coffee today inspired me to feature my favorite recent find: the oil rig coffee mugs. we found these treasures at a thrift store on our recent trip to oklahoma. i love them, partly for the irony of cherishing this symbolic image of our impending doom, and partly for the aesthetic accuracy of comparing oil to the type of coffee I insist on brewing, no matter how many guests can't drink it.
here they are making appearances next to the ongoing dragonfly quilt project and the other baby-related craft i finished in oklahoma: knit baby hat. this is baby hat number 3 for our friend justin's new baby, nasra. the first two i completed with grandma ho's help while in hawai'i - one crocheted and one knit, but i was trying to figure out how to decrease without a pattern on the knit hat and it turned out with a few extraneous angles, so this is my redo attempt, a few sizes bigger so she can grow into it.

Hey! Hi KASHA, love you, love your blog... Dude, you forgot to mention that they magicly appeared as a matching pair and that we paid only 50 fucking cents! Okmulgee, OK was at one time the largest producer of Oil (or O'l as they say) in the world at some point... now it's the home to cool ass gold rimmed (*bling!) coffee mugs.
p.s. one day i hope to do a feature on the dude who runs the shop, he's worked there for like 10 years at least.
