My name is Charlotte, sometimes known as Ms Lottie, occasionally as The Slightly Mad Quilt Lady. This is my blog, where you'll find me writing a lot about my quilting and textile arts and a little about my family's life in a small seaside town in New Zealand. Haere mai!

Lockdown Day 29

Today is the first 'bonus' day of lockdown. But it's a testament to NZ's commitment to the plan, and our good leaders making the right decisions, that we are only extending Level 4 lockdown for five days. Only three new cases of Covid-19 today. Sadly, another two deaths to add to our losses.


I've worked the last three days, doing 12 hour shifts. Today I had the day off, then I have another 12 hour shift tomorrow. So I felt pretty justified to start today off with a bit of a sleep-in! I went for a big walk, rinsed some of my dyed threads with rain water I've been catching, and then watched my buckets catch more rain. It feels like our drought is breaking, finally.

    The threads are beautiful! Things here in the states are a mess since the federal government has not been the leader in the fight against the virus. With everyone doing their own thing it makes it difficult. As long as I get to work from home, I will be ok.
