Working on teacher gifts for my daughters 4th grade teacher. My daughter wants me to make a big coffee mug for her because her teacher loves coffee. If she doesn't have time for coffee at home she has my daughter go to the office and get some for her. She tells me to make it big. So I make what I think are over size mugs 1.5 pounds. about 6 inches tall.
She tells me "no I want them bigger". It will be funny. So I made bigger. 2 lbs and over 6 1/2 inches tall. She may be disappointed after they shrink, but right now my favorite little critic is happy. The teacher will have plenty of energy for next years class.
