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...

Which Apps & Websites To Use With Cricut -






This is not an app or website, but rather an extension that makes the thubnails of svgs appear as previews, and not just an html icon
http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2018/01/how-to-see-thumbnails-of-svg-files.html


Want to identify a specific font? Use “what the font”.  Web  Android Apple
What the font almost never works for me - but I have seen others get excellent results!  I think it depends on the font.


WordMark.it

Want to see what your saying will look like in various fonts? Use:r WordMarkIt Web
THIS is my favorite site.  It makes it SO much faster to choose a font!!

Want to place a watermark over your pics? Use: the app “snap seed”.  Android Apple

Want free fonts? Use: fontzillion or Dafont.com
   (Do NOT add an S to Dafont.)  Remember that you do not open fonts in Design Space.  You install them to your computer, then design space can see all of your installed fonts.  Download file, unzip, find your computers font file, add the font.  You may need to restart your computer for them to appear, but usually if you just close design space and then open it again they will appear.

Want to Learn How To Install Fonts?  Windows  Mac

A Cheat Sheet of my favorite fonts (almost all from Dafont)
Want free SVG files? Use: lovesvg.com  Web
      Longer list of free svg links HERE.

Want to convert a jpg to SVG? Use: convertio.co (Web Based) or Inkscape (Download)
    (Inkscape - Path/trace bitmap) 
   (convertio didn't work for me - but I haven't googled how to use it so maybe I don't know what I am doing.)

More Sites To Convert JPEGS to SVGS
(I have not tried any of these - these are just the recommendations I have saved)

Another one - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firelitstudios.monogram.freemium&hl=en
Also - look at TroyGram  for Monograms - http://troygram.com/3-letter-monogram/

Want To Curve Text? Use Phonto.  Android Apple
     How To Use Phonto
How to Add Your Own Fonts To Phonto On Android
Troygram can also curve text, but the fonts are extremely limited, you cannot use your own.


Tired of the weird spacing when you use text in design space?  Use FontLab Pad - it will export as an svg, so you do not have to clean up the text when you import it to design space. FontLab Pad -   https://www.new.fontlab.com/fontlab-pad/

High Logic Main Type Character Map
For windows - this is so much better than the built in character map.  You use this to find all the extra glyphs (pretty swirls and tails) in fonts like Samantha.

How it works:

Anyfont
I don't use any apple devices myself, but apparently on ipads and apple phones you cannot just add your own fonts - there IS  an app that will allow you to do so though.  (It's not free)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/anyfont/id821560738?mt=8


 


Michaels and JoAnns both have apps with the coupons right in the app.

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...

It will print a black box around your desi...

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.
