thinking Christmas..

I know, I know. I'm totally breaking my rule about talking Christmas before Thanksgiving. Major no-no. But how cute are these burlap stockings?

How precious would they be with an initial or word(s) painted on them? 

Here are a few of my ideas (I'm not very good at doing this on the computer, 

so forgive the lack of symmetry! Click to make larger):

I really like the idea of putting lyrics on it to cover the whole stocking, but my computer wouldn't cooperate.  It didn't come out, but I think it would work with paint. 

What do you guys think? I think I've found my next project..

hopefully they will grace our apartment this Christmas!
