I've resolved to try a bit harder with my website this year and have spent the Bank Holiday weekend making new patterns and generally tweaking my site.
I've added a couple more Adventure Time patterns (Jake and Lumpy Space Princess) and a new section for Final Fantasy X. You can check out what I've got so far here: hwood7.wix.com/superstitch
Expect to see more soon!

Hi all!

This year has been a busy one! I completed my second year of university and managed to get a first class average! Spent 6 weeks in Thailand over the summer. Started a full-time placement at Cardiff University Otter Project (www.otterproject.cf.ac.uk/), a brilliant research group that uses the tissues from otters found dead on roads in the UK to investigate contaminants, diseases and a whole host of other useful stuff! I'm going to start my own research project into Toxoplasma gondii detection and typing in otters in the New Year, and if I'm really lucky, may even get my first scientific publication for it!

Unfortunately the placement is unpaid, and for some reason, despite the fact I'm working longer hours than ever, Student Finance has given me less money to live off so I've had to take up a couple of part-time jobs on top of my full-time placement! One at a nearby Hotel and the other at a lovely family pub. All of this has meant very little time for stitching sadly, but I'm on my Christmas holidays for the next 2 weeks so am taking it as an opportunity to get back into stitching!

So, if there's anything you'd like me to have a go at, just leave a comment here or drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do!

New website!

1 min read
It's the Easter Holidays! Which means I have time for a change (until I start my dissertation at least but shhh). So I've spent a fair amount of time today making a new website. I've got all the patterns up there so far- just need to update the gallery sometime soon. Will also hopefully be spending a bit more time stitching and will have something to post up before the three weeks is out.

Here's the link to the new site: hwood7.wix.com/superstitch

Now to go back and add it to all my previous works...

So yeah, reading over previous journal entries it's clear that I have an abundance of good intentions but apparently lack the ability to follow through on them >_<. I have been looking for a new host for superstitch but haven't managed to come across a good alternative for 110mb.com yet. I'm going to upload all my patterns onto here for now so anyone who wants to can access them for the moment.

I'll keep looking out for another host- exams finished yesterday and I have a whole week until term starts again so maybe I'll find something in the next few days. Until then- thanks for bearing with me! I'll be doing some more stitching and hopefully uploading something new very soon.

So... where to begin?

I've not been around these here parts for quite a few months now. I keep logging in now and again to see what's going on but the truth is I've been massively distracted by starting University last September and completely neglected to do any stitching at all for months!  Procrastination from revising end of year exams has led me here again and whilst trawling through my amassed watched deviations (currently at a total of over 2700!) I started getting itchy to start stitching again!

Sadly I've been unable to access my Superstitch site on 110mb for months now and I've had reports from a few people that they've been unable to access it. Numerous attempts at email password resets and support centre tickets have proved entirely useless and I think I'm just going to have to move the entire site onto another server which is certain to be a massive chore, but hopefully worth the effort. I'd appreciate any suggestions for good, reliable hosting sites for me to move onto please :).

In summary- apologies for disappearing for so long, it's been a bit of a hectic time for me but things seem to be settling down a bit now and I feel like I'll be able to keep up with things from next academic year on. Exams finish in 3 weeks time giving me a whole 3 months to get a new website sorted and get back into stitching (yay!). Also, I'd like to thank everyone who's been patient enough to keep messaging me despite the fact that I've been AWOL for what feels like ages!

Looking forward to updating with more news again soon!
