It has been quite a while since I updated this blog. There has been a lot of water under the bridge in the past couple of years.
I sold my house and moved near to my family in Canberra in 2021, just as the second wave of Covid lockdowns started. The annual exhibition at Wollombi that friends and I held as Entwined Weavers was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid lockdowns, but we held our final exhibition in 2021, just a few weeks before I moved.
My weaving activity has slowed a bit, but I still do what I can, and meet with the local weavers in Canberra.
