Hub Sweet Hub Cross-stitch

Well, this clearly doesn't belong on any of my other internet writing outlets, and it's too big for Twitter, so I'm going to post it here and tweet it.

I got bored with telling people the password for our Wi-Fi when they come to visit, so I've made a nice framed version of it to point at. I also decided to jazz it up (it's pronounced 'yazz') by creating a hand-stitched sampler to go above it, and since I'm hilarious, I adapted this pattern for a 'Home Sweet Home' sampler into a 'Hub Sweet Hub' equivalent.


It's not perfect (don't let me start listing the faults in it) but it looks good from a distance, and yes, I've put it up where it can't be seen from outside the window. The bit with the SSID/password was originally going to be stitched too, but I decided I couldn't be bothered redoing it as we're thinking of changing our SSID to something stupid. Because we're hilarious. So it's printed, and easily swappable.
