The Best Pillow for A Good Nights Sleep

 Choosing the right pillow may be very vital in accomplishing restful sleep. A proper pillow will help the top and neck with out applying immoderate strain, as it conforms to the precise shape of the bed, as a result spreading the weight frivolously and uniformly alongside the vertebrae. Pillows are a constant supply of frustration for many. In addition to aggravating the neck, plenty of pillows also can have an effect on the shoulder. The shoulder ought to not be positioned at 90 tiers to the bed, due to the fact it can cause spasms inside the trapezius muscle mass.Trapezius muscle mass perform a variety of actions, including acting as a platform to elevate the cranium, which is very important to relax in the course of sleep completely. If the shoulder is located barely ahead at the mattress in the front of the mattress, assuming that the mattress can keep this role, the threat of placing stress on the trapezius and forcing the scapula (shoulder blade) to the column is decrease...

How To Curve Text in Phonto - for Cricut Design Space




I don't have the patience to create a circle in design space and then add one letter at a time to curve text.  I like to use curved text WAY too often for that, especially on all of these Christmas ornaments.



So I use phonto.
http://www.phon.to/
Phonto works on Android and Apple.  I use an android, so my screen shots are from Android.

Open that app.  Tap in the middle of the screen.
Choose Use Plain image
choose the first white box you see.  All you need is a plain background.
Click on the pencil at the top of the app.
 Type the first half of your text.  

(Helpful comment from an iphone user -   Just an FYI on the iPhone, no pencil image comes up. You swipe left once you type the text to find the ‘curve’ option.)


Now choose style, then click on the little arrow to the right of "Text Color"
   a menu will drop down, choose curve.

Once you get the curve for the top half of your circle, click on the pencil again, and add the bottom part of your text.  This time when you choose curve, move the curve negative - to the left.  



Once you have your text in a circle, you can click on the three dots at the top and choose share.  Most people use email  - I share mine to facebook messnger, sent to myself.  It just feels faster to me.

Then go to your computer, save the image, open it in design space.  I choose simple, then make sure to erase your background - don't forget to erase the areas inside the e's and a's..  

That's all there is to it!

The First Week-end of June 2017

Image
When I asked Dan what he wanted to do this week-end, he replied "everything", as if he hadn't been married to me for 25 years and had no idea what he would be in for.  LOL!  We SHOULD have stayed home and worked on 5 gazillion farm projects, but we decided the work could wait until Monday - we burn out if we spend too much time not making nearly enough progress on the farm, so we stretch our work days out more this year.  With all this rain, there's only so much we can do anyway. I started my Saturday with book club at the Rose Hill library.  We discussed Rogue Lawyer, which I really enjoyed.    I haven't read Grisham in a long time.  Years ago I read everything he wrote as fast as he wrote it, but then they all started to feel a bit like the same novel for awhile, so I stopped reading his books until this one was a book club selection.  This is why I love book clubs, they get me to read things I may not chose on my own.  Next month we will d...

How To Add A Favorite Point To A Cache You've Already Logged

Image
This week-end we logged a lot of our finds "in the field", or quickly at Tim Horton's the next morning when we had cell signal.  We agreed that in the future, when caching in an area with no signal, we will log all of our finds as drafts and I'll edit and publish them when we get home.  But that's a live and learn moment, and we did not do that on this trip. We often forgot to hit the favorite button on our favorite caches.  I thought I was going to have to go back and rewrite the logs for all of the caches we wanted to give favorites to, and then I clicked the arrow beside the favorites tab on a cache, and saw I could just choose "add favorite" from the drop down menu. YAY!  Quick and easy! A larger view, for those who need it.  Just click on the arrow beside the Favorites at the top.
