Why?
Yikes! Twelve loaves of unbaked stollen! (Eight normal-sized, four mini-loaves.) Talk about scary . . . Halloween’s got nothing on Stollen Day at the Chappy household for frightening….
Years. As in, my car is five years old today. Hard to believe it’s gone that quickly. And oddly enough, I’m usually getting "itchy" about a new car after 4-5 years, but I’m still thoroughly enjoying this one. I could wish for a slightly bigger trunk, perhaps, or some more legroom for back-seat passengers, but . . . I LIKE my car. And as a special birthday treat? Since Dad will be away for the next few days, she gets to sleep in the garage. Woohoo!
Yule. The Christmas season is definitely here.
Yarn. Of course. The last skein of my "raspberry" yarn, drip-drying in the shower. This yarn came out so nicely . . . I’m really pleased with it.
More Yarn. All handspun. In fact, this IS all my handspun–or at least, all that I haven’t given away or knitted into something else. That’s three skeins of the Raspberry there in the front–good representation of the color, too . . .
Yippee!! A row of baked Stollens. I’m DONE for another year!
Yawn! Of course, after all that baking and agonizing, we’re very tired, now….
…. Makes me want to go to my Yellow bedroom and go to sleep….
And, wow, I can’t believe there’s only one more letter to go. I have SO enjoyed this ABC-along this year! But, I can’t wait for Z . . . I know exactly what I’m doing for that one!
Oh–and I almost forgot! I had wanted to add one more "Y" but forgot to dig through the pictures looking for one . . .
Yellow Eyes. My dearly departed Katy had the most amazing amber yellow eyes . . . so beautiful! (Chappy’s eyes are more golden-brown, but Katy? They were actually green when I brought her home at 7 weeks, and then they turned into this gorgeous, topaz color. In fact, they were the inspiration for my bedroom color . . . just loved that.

Your yarn is gorgeous - love the color and I’m truly impressed that you came up with all the Y’s! lol The yawn has sent me into fits of yawning now so I’m off to hopefully knit
Have a great night!
Whew! The beginning of your post had me worried.
My car is also 5 years old this week. Ain’t that funny.
Mine’s a chrysler mini van. What’s yours again that you still love it so much?
I bet you’re glad the stollen is done for the year! And my, your room is organized! My room looks like my bureau threw up all over the floor.
Very clever Y. Or is it Why?
That picture of the tree is so cool! The intro there scared me also, but I’m happy to see it was another successful stollen day.
D’oh - you are sneaky! It took me a bit to catch on to this being Y…
Love your handspun!
I’m glad for you that the stollen is done. Whew! The raspberry handspun is gorgeous and will make a great sweater. I can’t wait to see it!
Woo hoo. Glad the stollen is done for another year!
What a great Y. It looks like you’ve been very busy.
I am going to miss the ABC along…you’ve been so creative!
Love your homespun! The stollens look yummy too mmmmmm Nice color for your bedroom! I have some yellow in the house too & very happy with it. Awww Katie is just adorable, painting your room to match her eyes is a sweet tribute.
I miss my mom’s Stollen, haven’t had any in the 11 years she’s been in heaven. But I can still smell them baking, I love that yeasty/fruity/almondy smell.
totally clever - good for you.
can’t wait to see your Z
the yarn is great, yet I must admit that I am totally drooling over that Stollen….. we haven’t made it to the German bakery locally (yet)!
Every year my mother makes the dreaded fruitcake (choke, choke, gag) I think I may just have to introduce her to Stollen since it’s something I believe everyone would actually EAT!
By the way, your handspun is GORGEOUS!
Wonderful ‘Y’ post! :o)
