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...

Free Alternatives To The Samantha Font

Image
The font used above is Samantha.  It's pretty hard to find another font with this many options for each letter - some letters have 20 different options in this font!  Note the 3 different lower case T's in the example above.   How to use the Samantha Font In Cricut Design Space http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/11/using-samantha-font-in-cricut-design.html Cliff Notes - you need to use a character map, Maintype logic is my freeware favorite. It's hard to beat the Samantha font.  It has SO many pretty glyphs, and many options for each letter.  It's almost always on sale for $14 at Mighty Deals, and eventually most cricut owners cave and buy it.  But there are a few free alternatives that might work in its place, depending on what you are looking for. The free fonts do not have nearly as many options - some have no real options at all, which can make them much easier to use as well.  None of these would actually replace Samantha, but they might...

Writing with FUN fonts in Cricut

Image
LOOK what this machine can do!  It's so much more artistic than I am!  :-) For quite awhile now, I've been testing out fonts that write as handwriting fonts in cricut .  FREE fonts, that do not outline when used in the writing feature.  I've found 22 of them, and I've been happy playing with those. But today I learned something new.  The cricut will also write FUN fonts.  Drawing fonts.  I don't need any signs right this minute, but when I DO need a sign, this is going to be fun. When I posted this on a cricut facebook group, immediately I got comments that the cricut would not draw these like shown above.    But my cricut DID draw what is shown above - that's a photo of the results!  My cricut air 2 drew those, I took a picture of the paper it drew on.  I know - I didn't believe it would work either - but it does!!

Using Text In Design Space

Image
In part one of this post, I covered how to find, download, unzip, install and back up your fonts.  You care read all of that here:    http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/all-about-fonts-text-in-cricut-design.html    If you skip the first post, at least make sure you know about  https://wordmark.it/   Word mark it is a website that shows you your text in every font installed on your device.  This makes it SO much faster to choose a font for your project. Using Fonts In Design Space Often fonts are not named what we think they are, so when you try to find them in design space, you won't see it.  Examples - the I Love Glitter font is actually MF I love glitter - so it starts with an M, not an I.  The Skinny font (the font used for Rae Dunn knock offs) is THE Skinny, not skinny, so it starts with a T, not an s.  Spacing Although you can use system fonts in Design Space, DS will not read most of the prettier fonts properly. ( DS 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...
