Reasons to love rain. 10 things Sunday.

by Audra Zili from AudraTextileStudio

Autumn is half way through  and everyone knows what it's like to wake up in the morning with a sound of a monotonic melody played by the rain. And you know what's the first thing that comes to your mind: Oh, no!
... But stop right there... stop for a moment and forget all the negative things. Smile a little and prepare to read 10 reasons why you should love rain. 

Rainy Sunday is a legitimate reason not to hurry up. You have time to start your day with a wellness and care for  yourself and those around you. And there is little reason to spend time matching outfits. Stay cozy and comfortable – you are in your own home.

Now is the time for long breakfast, healthy and nicely served – you are worth only the best. After such a good start, take a minute to write a paper card to your Mom or friend, or to practice origami...or do a master class in crafts.

Look around your home. Maybe you want to change the order of your interior or create a special mood with lighting? At least do a walk. Waterproof yourself and your best friend and don‘t forget umbrella. This walk could became a wonderful adventure. Remember, you can't have a rainbow without a little rain. 
Don‘t forget this and smile!

 "Creating dolls have always been a continuous creative process for me . It is an entryway into the miraculous world of childhood where anything is possible and the lines between stories and the real world are blurred . Each doll is a new fairy tale , a magical story full of fantasy and adventure! I imagine myself as the Father of Pinocchio who wanted to breathe life into his wooden puppet in the children's novel by Carlo Collodi . I do not use casting molds or a sewing machine ; everything in my shop is 100% made by hand" -says Dovilė from DovileDollart
