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...

Print Then Cut EOS Easter Cards

The Cliff Notes: Design is from :  http://caluyadesign.com/free-bunny-faces-svg.html Hole for EOS is 1.46 Font is A Little Sunshine First, download the free files from http://caluyadesign.com/free-bunny-faces-svg.html Normally you want the svg files, but it's faster to use the PNG files for this project, since it is print then cut. I used the Egg file.  Tip - to see thumbnails of your svg files, use this extension . Create a 5.58x7 rectangle in Design space. Upload the Bunny PNG File Add your text.  Change your text to Print. Select all, choose Center horizontally If you have already added the circle (1.46 in diameter) hide it. Select all, Flatten. Add a 1.46 inch in diameter circle, right over the nose.

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

Cricut & The Dollar Tree

Image
The Dollar Tree is one of my favorite places for "blanks" - items to put cricut vinyl designs on - but it's also where I find some of my basic supplies and tools.  These are the the items I buy there, followed by some of my projects with Dollar Tree blanks.   If there is a link with the project, it usually includes the svgs and fonts I used, along with step by step instructions.   Supplies To Buy At Dollar Tree   These are the two items I suggest everyone with a cricut buys first thing.   The clear contact paper ($1 a roll!) is the only transfer tape I use for transfering vinyl.  It also works for stencils. The fabric tape measure I use for every single project.  It's my most used tool.  That is what I use to figure out how large my design should be.  (I found the tape measure in the check out aisle)   These items are a little more craft related than specifically cricut - but I still recommend them!  I use those hooks...

Fonts are KG Skinny Latte & July 7th Gilmore & the heart is in Siser Easy Weed Teal Glitter Keep Calm & Copper Boom Soap Dispensers http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/decorating-soap-dispensers-with-cricut.html Dish Towels I can't find all of the fonts I used for this, but this is what I could figure out from my saved project: The marks beside "I can't stop" are from the beauty & the beast font Oh I Can't Stop - Just Tell Me What font The (beside coffee) is from Bergamot Ornaments font Coffee I imported as an svg from Font Lab Pad, I can't remember which font The And Sign before the  words putting into sentence doing is the Milkshake font Christmas Ornaments - I had...

Cricut Easter Baskets

Image
Cliff Notes: Baskets are from the Dollar Tree, Target, & DH Gate.  Details are below, for each. Designs are from all over.  I've started this post with a list of places to find free bunny faces, then later in the post I describe each design I used and where I got the elements for it. I used a regular iron for all of these.  It's what I always use, I never have any problem using an iron.  I use a silicone baking sheet inside (or behind) items when Ironing on my designs, I think it helps.   Siser Easyweed HTV.  I buy it on Amazon, with prime free shipping, it's always the cheapest that way, for me.

Geocaching Road Trip - Heading to Hartleton

Image
We had a few hours free today, and it's too muddy to get much done on the farm yet, so I planned a day of geocaching in the Hartleton/Laurelton area.  We've already found all the caches between Watsontown and Mifflinburg, and everything in Mifflinburg.  So my list for today  started with Campers In Training, at Camp Mt Luther. It included 23 caches, several being short hikes in the gamelands, but several also being cache and dash urban caches.  And of course, several cemetery caches were mixed in.  (The full original list is at the bottom of this post)  W e ended up only making it about half way through, but that was a choice.  As Datruck said, "lets not get so caught up in the goal that we miss the experiencre.".  It was a GORGEOUS day on the mountain, we enjoyed a few nice walks in the woods, and then we had a really nice time exploring the Union County Sportsmans club, where we saw the animals, walked to the geocache, and then decided to stay f...
