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...

The Best Fonts For Flourishes in Design Space -



Cliff Notes:
  • Similar to "fonts with tails" (easy glyphs), like in the  I Love Glitter font, but these fonts are ALL glyphs.  (See fonts with tails cheat sheet here)
  • Don't install them all!  Use fontlab pad and open what you want to use right from the zipfile.  Less clutter!
  • Lists of pretties, arrows, and frames, below, with a short list of free sites with svg files for flourishes at the bottom. All the fonts listed below are free, and found on Dafont.

Fonts are my favorites for lines! You can just install the font to your computer, then in design space find the font under "system fonts".  Now type the letter, or number,  from the fonts chart to get the corresponding line.

I suggest you do NOT do that though.  If you install all of these fonts, they are really going to clutter up your font list.  Instead, create a folder named "Flourishes".  Save the zip files for each of these fonts in that folder.  ALSO, on the page for each font, right click on the chart and choose "save as".  Make sure it is named the same as the font.  Now you have a folder full of chart (photos) and zip files.  When you want a flourish, look through your collection of charts.  Choose the one you want, then open Fontlab Pad.  With fontlab pad you do NOT need to install, not even unzip, the fonts.  In fontlab pad, choose "open", browse to the correct zip file, and type the number or letter from the chart.  Choose save, it saves as an svg, upload the svg to design space.  It sounds like a lot of steps, but I promise, once you get the hang of it, it is fast, easy, and will cut down on a lot of your font clutter!  (I keep a second folder of "special fonts" that I rarely use - like the Harry Potter font - so those are not installed and they also do not clutter up my list when I am looking through my installed fonts to use for a project)

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

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...
