フンボルトさんとジョニーは、ちょっと大人のきのこ祭りを楽しんでいました。
While Prin and his friends enjoy grilling “Mushroom Hill”
Mr. Humboldt and Johnny were having a grown up party celebrating mushroom festival.
「うむ、そろっといいようじゃな」
“Mr. Humboldt, grilled mushrooms are ready, aren’t they?”
“Yes, they are.”
Adults enjoy grilled mushrooms with alcohol!
ポンスケは、ドンスケお兄ちゃんがお仕事をするかたわらで、塗り絵をして遊んでます。
Ponsuke enjoying coloring book near working brother Donsuke.
Then, “Open the door!”
“Is it Prin?”
「いいもの!」
プリンが得意げに両手に掲げてきたものは・・・
“What’s the matter, Prin?”
“Something good!”
What Prin brought on both his hands were…
「ドングリのハカマ、だ。ポンスケはどっちがいい?」
“What is it, Prin?”
“Acorn cups. Which one do you like, Ponsuke?”
「どっちって・・・なにかちがうの?あと、なんにするの?それ」
“Which one… is there any difference? And what are you going to do with it?”
“Oh! you say difference? There are a lot! This one…”
「えっ・・・」
ドンスケお兄ちゃんも吹きだしそうです。
“You wear, like this”
“What?”
Donsuke is about to burst into laugh.
“See?”
ドングリのハカマはぼうしにするものだそうです。
“O, okay.”
According to Prin, acorn cup is for wearing as a hat.
いつか作ってみたいと思っていた
あみぐるみのいちごのショートケーキ。
リクエストが来たので作ってみました。
I’ve been wanted to try amigurumi
Japanese strawberry shortcake for long time.
I finally made it upon request.
厚みが足りない?
Looks exactly like a brie…
Maybe I need more thickness?
断面が見えるとケーキだってわかるけど
見えないとどこからどう見てもブリーチーズ。
Only one cream layer.
If you see cross section of cake, you will be able to know it’s a cake
but if you don’t then you won’t and it’s definitely a brie.
ケーキっぽくなってきた!
ついでに周囲にぐるっとクリームを飾ってみました。
So, I added more layers.
It now looks more like a cake!
I also added whipped cream decoration around the top edge.
色彩効果のため、いちごのヘタもつけたままです。
Finish with strawberries and extra whipped cream.
I left strawberry stems as they are for color effect.
Difficult to decorate evenly.
角や断面を綺麗に出す方法で作りました。
普通に編んで綿を入れたらどうしても膨らんで
断面や角がきっちりしないのです。
The request I got this time was “a whole cake and cut some pieces from it”
so I chose this method so that it can maintain its sharp edges and cross section.
If I just crocheted normally and stuffed it with fiber fillings
then it would have become too round and could not have kept
its clean edge and cross section.
My cake ♪
プリンたちの住むここでも・・・
Winter is around the corner, there is a festival called “Mushroom Festival” in Roshino.
Of course there is one in which Prin and his friends live…
大人はバーベキューの火をおこしたり
ピクニックの支度をします。
Pick wild mushrooms in the forest and grill them.
Adults get ready for picnic and barbecue
starting a fire for the grill.
子供たちは、ロシーノ名物のきのこ形のマシュマロ「きのこの丘」を買ってもらって大喜び。
Children are all so excited to get “mushroom hill”, mushroom shaped marshmallow
that is one of very famous products in Roshino.
Everyone loves charcoal grilled mushrooms!
We also have a picnic basket full of special foods.
子供の一番のお楽しみは「きのこの丘」をこんがり焼くことです。
Children are looking forward to grill mushroom hill.
Can we grill them nice and brown?
They had a fun and yummy mushroom festival in this year too!
囲炉裏のある旅館でした。
ここでチャーミー一家は11月の風物である
きのこを味わいます。
Walking through the mushroom forest
Charmy and his family arrived at a local hotel
which is famous for traditional Japanese hearth.
They are going to enjoy the taste of November, mushrooms.
それは私が引っ越しのどさくさで間違って
この子達のバーベキューグリルを捨ててしまったからです。
The reason why they had to come to this place
was that I accidentally threw their barbecue grill away when I moved.
各自好きなものを焼いたり注文しています。
ミニチュアはリーメントさんやメガハウスさんがほとんどですが
メインのきのこの丘、ロシーノの名物お菓子である
きのこの形のマシュマロとハンバーガーはTifti作です。
So, let’s see how they are doing.
It seems like each of them ordered what they like.
Almost all miniatures are from Rement and Megahouse
but the main dish of marshmallow mushroom, Roshino’s famous confectionery
“Mushroom Hill”, and a burger are made by Tifti of Roshino.
もちろんきのこの丘も焼いています。
Lili is in the mood of hamburger today.
Of course, she is grilling mushroom hill.
焼き色がとても美味しそうです。
ゆっきーときょうしろう君は大人なのでビールも。
Yukki’s mushroom is just ready to eat!
It is slightly browned and looks very delicious!
Yukki and Kyoshiro are adult so they enjoy beer, too.
大好物のメロン、それにおにぎりもあります。
Charmy is grilling his mushroom hill with his smile on his face.
He ordered his favorite melon and we see some rice balls on the side.
この時期にはみんなそろってきのこにまみれます。
November, Roshino is full of tons of mushrooms.
Covered with various mushrooms, people in Roshino
enjoy every tiny bit of it in this season.
どこかに向かっているようですが…
Charmy and his family are walking in the mushroom forest.
They are bound to somewhere…
久しぶりのお出かけにチャーミーもご機嫌。
Charmy: “♪”
Charmy is very happy since it’s the leisure walk after a long time for him.
後ろからしっかり観察していたチャーミーでした。
続く。
Charmy: “Lili sometimes walks unladylike…”
He was carefully observing this and that from the end of the line.
To be continued.
鯛とシシャモです。
I made amigurumi fishes for amigurumi cat.
Red snapper and smelt.
サイズを確認。
Amigurumi bunnies which are the same size as amigurumi cat
holding fishes to see the sizes.
「鮎じゃなくて?」
シシャモです。
“Your red snapper looks good. Mine is a sardine.”
“Isn’t it a sweetfish?”
It is a smelt.
作った順番に番号をふってみました。
鯛に近づいてるかな?
I tried to make it look more realistic.
The numbers in order from previous to the latest.
Is it approaching to the real red snapper?
あみぐるみsweetsのたい焼きを参考にしてみました。
I referred this taiyaki from the book Amigurumi Sweets.
うさぎも嬉しそう^^
It’s huge!
The bunny looks very happy 🙂
たい焼きの方が大きい。
My red snapper and taiyaki.
Taiyaki is much bigger than my fish.
スイスイとこんな複雑な形に編めるので
うっとりしながら編みました。
This taiyaki pattern is excellent in deed.
I was very fascinated with the pattern.
It’s very easy to follow and yet you can make such a
complicated form.
深まる秋、ノリスケは紅葉を見にロシーノのもみじ山にやってきました。
Autumn progresses, Norisuke the amigurumi cat visited Momijiyama mountian
to enjoy bright and deep autumn leaves.
You can find lots of acorns in Momojiyama mountain.
Took a picture with a stone Buddha there.
山のおじさんがそう言ってた。
We have early autumn leaves this year
said a man in the mountain.
桜の落ち葉をのっけて呪文を唱えると、化けられるってフンボルトさんが言ってたんだよね。
Mr. Humboldt said you can transform if you chant a charm with
a cherry leaf on your head.
Someone left a leaf ship, with acorns inside.
Had so much fun in Momojiyama mountain!
Autumn, the season of mushroom in Roshino has arrived!
Amigurumi cat, Norisuke, is enjoying mushroom hunting.
He was battling with big red mushroom and pulled it real hard then…
He had a good haul of mushrooms this year too!
