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...

Making Earring Display Cards With Cricut


Cliff Notes:

  • Finished size - varies greatly.  I'd suggest starting at 2.5 x 3.5 and figuring out what you like from there.
  • Size for earring circles -  0.068 works well

Tips For Making Your Own:

Finished sizes: (Suggestions only, I've seen so many variations!)

  • 2.5 x4
  • 3 x 3
  • They do not need to be larger than your earrings!


Add 2 circles  I first sized them to  0.181   While this worked, it's really MUCH larger than they need to be. .068 works great!

 I spaced them an inch apart, with the the outside edges being on the inch lines.  

Use the "align" to make them perfectly across from each other - you can see one is slightly higher than the other in the photo above.  Align will fix that.

Print and Cut
For print and cut  (using your printer) you will need to slice the circles out of your tag.  Select both circles, choose weld. Then select both the circles and the tag, and slice.

Next add your text.  Then select your shape and your text and choose flatten.  You will see the printer icon to the right of your flattened item.

(The grey rectangle here is completely unnecessary.  I only added it here so the white tag would show up and you can clearly see the holes for the earrings)

Write and Cut
For write and cut, you can skip slicing the circles, and just attach them.  When you attach them they will change to white (the color of your background shape) and they will cut.

Be sure to choose a font that will write - not all fonts work as writing fonts.  There's a list with samples of free fonts that work - here - http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/11/6-single-line-fonts-that-will-write.html

In the layers panel on the right, be sure to click on the scissors beside your text, and change it to the pen.

For basic shapes for the cards, KG Flavors & Frames fonts are my favorites.

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...
