Tarantula is webbing a lot...

My rose hair, Sharloh, has been webbing around her enclosure a lot. I've had her since June 11th of this year and she has never webbed this much. She did this a few days after I rearranged her enclosure. I made her hide more closed off and secure. She has webbed 95% of her enclosure including her water bowl. I've always wanted to see her webbing so this is fascinating for me, but I was wondering if there was a reason. She has never molted for me and I don't think the previous owner mentioned her ever molting either. She even webbed off a little crack in the top of her hide which I find hilarious and extraordinary. Nothing else has changed except for the rearranged tank, but I've rearranged it before and she's never done this. Any ideas?

Quite common occurrence. The thin webbing also acts like trip lines if you drop prey onto it they have a good idea which way to dart towards to find the treat. Also as Sabeth said it could be preparing to molt. You should see the GBB and OBT web it is insane lucky to see subtrate.
