It is another beautiful glorious day. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. What is not to love?


 Do you have anything special planned today? Later in the day, Mr. Pinker and I will go out to the most glorious , most spectacular romantic place- the place where I like to take long strolls. I bet you can't guess where. Well let me take that back- those who have been visiting me for awhile  know exactly where-  Eeeeh the thrift store!!!!!😀❤ Ya'll I am a junkaholic so a thrift store , a yard sale and yep even the dump where I can find rusty treasures is all good to me even on Valentine's Day. ( Yes I have found treasures at the dump. 😃😅 but I will tell you about those some other time. ) We will go out to eat later. 

 Last year , Mr. Pinker bought me a fabulous bow tie quilt on our romantic Valentine thrift store date for just a song and a dance. 💃
Who knows maybe we will find another. 


Any whooo! I have been on pins and needles to drop you a Love Note- this one is in the form of a mason jar stitch . It is called DROPPING LOVE NOTES JAR. 



Two little birdies- one dropping love notes or hearts to the other.






This little jar was inspired by my ceramic birds that you have seen time and time again;
 in fact they have inspired other stitches as well like  Love Basket   and Spring Stamp. 

 
 
"Dropping Love Notes Jar" is the same size as the other mason jars with a stitch size of 48 x 67.

I stitched mine on 14 count tea/coffee dyed aida . 12 DMC floss colors were used in this stitch including 223, 932, 931, 930, 815, 3345, 3347, 780, 782, 783, 3371, and 413. 



NOTE:  I did not chart this but it is written in the instructions:  I used 1 strand of 783 to create long stitches for the straw in the nest and 1 strand of 931 to create long stitches in the wings. 

 
The trim is 2 strands of chenille white yarn that I bought at Walmart . One strand I tea dyed. I cut off a portion of the yarn and microwaved a Great Value Black tea bag in a coffee cup of water. I then let the yarn sit for about 30 minutes. I wish you could see the difference between the two in person- so lovely.
I then simply twisted a white chenille and a tea dyed chenille strand together and whip stitched them along the seam. 

If you are interested in stitching Dropping Love Notes Jar  ,grab the images below. Many of ya'll know but I always encourage you to read my little disclaimer and note about getting my charts. 

NOTE: Normally I have been able to create links to the charts and instructions which were in JPG form. For some reason, recent updates on Google Docs. has prevented me from doing that and I am not able to create a pdf without having to deal with storage issues.  Many dear stitchers say they right click, save the image and then print.  I think some have copied and pasted it to a Word document that they can print off as well. I hope you are able to find a way to enjoy this chart. You will have to click each page to save. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding and for all of the helpful tips and ideas. 

I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding . I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and for stitching my little designs.
