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...

Cricut & The Dollar Tree

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 to hold my cricut mats on the wall (storage) and the jute is nice for so many of my projects - either to hang them, decorate them, or wrap them.

Pot Holders 
These are one of my favorite items!
They are:  Home Collection Cotton/Neoprene Pot Holders 
I use a silicone baking sheet in the pocket before ironing on my design.
(The dish towels are from JoAnns)

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...

All About Fonts & Text in Cricut Design Space

Image
Cliff Notes Version: Download your fonts from a site like Dafont.com.  They will almost always download as a .zip file Unzip them.  Use a program like WInzip or 7-Zip. Copy the OTF or TTF file to the fonts folder on your computer (for ipad users, there's an app called AnyFont for adding new fonts. ) Open Design Space, add a text box and find your font under "system fonts".  Sometimes, rarely, you will have to restart your computer for the fonts to show up. Or possibly just close the browser and open a new one. The Long, Wordy, Step By Step, Instructions: Fonts are installed on your device, not opened in Design Space. This is the most common newbie question "I downloaded fonts from Dafont, but I can't open them in Design space, what am I doing wrong?" You don't open fonts in design space.  You use fonts in design space, but only fonts that are already installed on your device.  (Or fonts that are already included in design space) If you download a font o...
