We went berry picking a while ago and it was so pretty in the fields.

Just a little note to let you guys know what’s going on with my shop!
#1 Bergamot bunny merchandise is available again through my Zazzle store. Take a look, there are shirts and other apparel with all of Bergamot’s friends as well as my monogram and the VLB logo!
You can even customize you shirt by adding your name or a message! How cute is this??
#2 My first series of paintings is now available for order in my Zazzle store as prints!
Get in quickly as I will be rotating designs in and out to keep things fresh! The next series of prints will be up the first of next month.
#3 to address the Bergamot conundrum…
As I mentioned in vlogs and on the blog several times getting plush Bergamots made has been really difficult and I just don’t have the money to do a bulk order as companies require. So as this issue isn’t going to be resolved any time soon I’ve decided to put a very special downloadable pattern up for sale. This is going to be very different to my normal tutorials and be more of a master class on how to completely make Bergamot and several accessories. I’m finalising the details on the layout for this and the aim is it will be up at the end of next month. It’s progress at least!!
#4 thank you for all of your support so far!
It makes me so happy to know that I’ve got such wonderful people behind me when put these things together!

I’ve been wearing a lot of gold jewellery lately. I’ve always been a silver girl but for some reason I’ve been so drawn to gold chains. Gold and pearls.
I actually prefer to make my own jewellery because I find it hard to get things from stores that fit my wrists without just slipping off. Having a bangle fly off and hit someone in the face while you’re gesturing wildly while having a conversation isn’t something that you really want to repeat…
So anyway…. let’s make a pearl and gold chain bracelet today!
You will need:
- Chain
- Pearls
- Thin wire
- Clasps
Cut a length of chain which can wrap around your wrist.
Lay out the chain and the pearls, you want to place a pearl in every second chain.
Add clasps to the end of the chain.
Now let’s start with the pearls. Tie your thin wire securely to one end of the chain.
Thread a pearl on the wire and then thread the wire back down through the chain.
Weave the wire through the chain again so it’s under the next link, then when you go up again add another pearl. There should be a pearl on every second link.
Continue down the chain until you run out and then tie the wire off securely.
Done!!
And now you’ve got an adorable bracelet which actually fits well!
This also looks perfect stacked with a bunch of other bracelets!
