Mediterranean Mermaid Update

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We had a relaxing weekend, and it was nice not having to travel out of town. Yesterday, I made a coffee-pecan torte with coffee-flavored whipped cream. The great thing about the dessert was that there was no flour in it. The cake was ground pecans, eggs, and sugar. It was yummy!

My newest niece was born last Thursday. She weighed 8 lbs and 1 ounce, and has the cutest, chubbiest cheeks. I can't wait to meet her (probably next week)! I guess I should go ahead and finish up the baby sampler : )

I worked on Meddie last week. I love the greens in her tail, and she is so sparkly!

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!
