Lena needs a Christmas stocking

[dreamshark]

Does anyone know where I could find a pretty Christmas stocking that says "Lena" on it? Or has some easy way to add your child's name that doesn't involve heavy embroidery skills? Is this the kind of thing you find on Etsy?

ETA: We have a solution. Richard unearthed a stack of unmatched handmade-looking Xmas stockings from the attic. The only one with a name on it says "Sharon," which I found odd considering I don't remember ever using it. He said he found it a garage sale. Personally I think I'm too old for a stocking, but sometimes when Amber is here she insists on stockings for everyone. But this year it will be 5 adults and one child, and I think it's time to say that only the kid needs a stocking.

Anyway, one of them has a nice fabric panel at the top with plenty of  room for a 4-letter name - and Richard has a huge box of fabric paints that he uses for decorating his canes and Christmas ornaments and various crafts. So the solution is obvious - right?

Here's a place that seems to specialize in personalized stockings. Who knew?!

When my grandma made us all xmas stockings she put our names on with sharpie. :)

She had good handwriting.

Right! (If the solution is for Richard to hand paint Lena's name on the stocking.)

Fabric paint sounds good to me!
