ππ Moon Cycles ππ
Before I had Lily I never thought much about the moon or it's cycles or appreciated how beautiful it actually is until I saw it through her eyes β¨
As most of you would know Lily loves the moon, she was gifted a huge moon cycle wall lamp for her birthday and a moon torch that she packs in her hand bag to take everywhere with her β¨

Super easy and fun to make β€οΈππ¦
