4KCBWDAY4 Colour Review ::
Posted by vicki brown on
So I got a little bit distracted last week and lost my knitting and crochet blog week mojo. I'm putting this down to a couple of things, firstly the day 3 theme, really didn't appeal to me (infographics aren't really my thing) then I went off on a little Oxford based adventure on day 4, which left me a little worse for wear come day 5, then off I hopped on day 6 to wonderwool(more on that later...

My Lego obsessed (accessed as he says) boy, wanted of course a lego themed birthday, only we kind of did that already last year, so as we've recently been...
