Well, I wasn't going to say anything. But after someone else did, I'm gonna put my two cents in. I liked the other lamp better too. But then I'm a contrary old bitch, aren't I?

Aren't jammie days just the best. And by the way, I like this font. I think it's a little bigger too, which helps for those of us who can't find our peepers. Still catch up from being in WI over the weekend. So, I'll be off for now, but will be back again soon.

Hi, Claudia. The font you used before was attractive because it resembled the font of most books: it has a "grayish" tint. This font is fine; it is clear, darker. More like the font of the E-readers! I like the older font but would have never noticed a difference if not directed to the change you are trying to make. Pajamas or jeans? Have you tried those "pajama jeans"? I recently bought a pair and they are as comfortable as flannel pjs and are jeans. Google "pajama jeans" and you should find them. Then you can sleep and wear them for days!! The shot of the sky is gorgeous. Florida is not so cold this time of year. We do have the Robins flying down just this week. As always, I promise to keep as many as I can happy and healthy until they head back up to you in Spring. Peace. Brianne

Oh... I forgot to tell you. About the twitching eye... I've been suffering with the exact same thing. The Dr. told me he had too and you just need to sort of pull on the side of your eyelid and hold it. It has something to do with stretching the muscle/ligament or whatever the dang thing is called so it will calm down. It really does work, but right now I have to go try it again. I'm twitchin'.

The desk looks so cute, though I think I liked the old lamp better :) .....
I once had a twitch that lasted nearly a week. A young woman I worked with told me to go home and eat two bananas....then to eat two the next day. The twitch was gone by the next day (perhaps the potassium?) At any rate, whenever I have the slightest twitch, I reach for the bananas. Enjoy your writing, no matter the font !!

Hi Claudia, I will keep visiting Mockingbird Hill Cottage no matter what font you use, but I must say that I do miss the more artistic, handwritten look of your old font. And did you know that LL Bean's sells flannel-lined jeans? I have never tried them but my kids (college age) love them!! Linda

Wow, look at that sky! I've been doing a lot of sky gazing lately, this one is gorgeous.

Not sure where you're at with your font changing, but everything here looks fine to me, although I did have a problem commenting :D

2012-01-16T19:24:57.762-05:00

I am sorry about your eye. I hate that. And you have had it 2 days! Poor thing! I love your desk too! I like when I get something that just fits! I think this font is fine. But you can make it bold and change the size if it is hard for others to see. I think about Brenda when I change mine, she may not be able to see the one I have now, But I try for cute and not just black but had to work with it. I made my headers and titles fun and colors and the body big bold and dark gray. I think it was Crafty Girls. You can check it out and let me know if it is hard to see. But I like a much bigger size in all of them than it defaults to. Sorry now that I typed all that you have done the same with yours! ;) I like it. I also don't have many issues with reading most.
Hugs and stay warm, Lisa

Sorry about your twitch.

I think I got in on Merriwether and it looks just fine! Very easy to read...

Hi Claudia...

I actually went to sleep last night catching up on your blog.....I didn't realize it had been so long since I had visited. that sounds like it put me to sleep..... and that's NOT what I mean. :-)

I like the current font... It looks good to me and is quite easy to read. I've been so several blogs that were quite difficult to see, so this works for this gal from the over 60 set. :-)

Loved seeing your re-do of you previously cast off desk. It always amazes me what people can do to something that was considered curbside trash. I love the fabric and it looks just wonderful in it's new home. I use smaller pieces because things are pretty tight here, at the cottage.

Mockingbird Hill Cottage always looks like such a cozy and happy home... I love getting a chance to peek inside... whether you say it's cluttery or not. I think it's just perfect. And, so enjoyed seeing your little dance in the kitchen. Yep, a HAPPY PLACE.

Huggies to you.. and best wishes for the New Year.

Claudia,
I've been blogging since June and have changed my font several times. Then again, I've changed the header, gadgets and layout a few times too. My last font was rather "swirly" and I switched to Josefin Slab for a simple, unfussy look. Funnily, Brenda commented on it in one of my posts, a while back, and asked for the name.
These things are such a matter of personal taste and I quite enjoy seeing the variety of fonts used on different blogs. Maybe it comes from decades of reading students' handwriting, but I haven't found clarity to be an issue...except with my own handwriting.

2012-01-16T16:32:29.366-05:00

Guess the new font is the one you must keep reading all the comments here...I just don't care for fonts that are really really light or are supposed to look handwritten, I find that annnoying for some reason. My eye twitches only when I am stressed greatly...like when I got a divorce, my eye twitched for months.

How dare those bossy old women criticize your font...

2012-01-16T15:34:13.350-05:00

How dare those bossy old women criticize your font! Haha! It's probably that Brenda and I are old and set in our ways (imagine that!) and just like dark and simple fonts. When I email, I make the font about 18 in size, so I can read without my reading glasses.
It was nice to read the comments and other bloggers' thoughts on the fonts. Whoever said "just keep writing" was right; that's the important thing.
Love the lamp, you know me, gotta have a lamp on every horizontal surface in the room (again, the old eyes).
My eye twitches when I'm really tired and stressed, too. Then it'll go away and I'll be fine. It's really annoying.

2012-01-16T14:54:02.434-05:00

This font is fine. Nice and clear. The ones that are on colored backgrounds and have no definition in the letters are so hard to read. For us "older" ones, at least we can enlarge the screen, but we can't make it any darker which still doesn't help in reading them. That desk has such character. I think it's as happy to be there as you are to have it! Annette T.

2012-01-16T14:22:25.850-05:00

Hi Claudia!

Love the photos today and the desk looks marvelous! I don't care what font you use because frankly, I just like reading what you write about period....ha!

I know what you mean about obsessing. I've completely messed up my blog attempting to fool with the CSS code and spent hours yesterday making matters worse.

2012-01-16T14:02:59.543-05:00

As has already been stated fatigue and stress can cause the twitching. I have it often when fatigued. I am often fatigued due to medication I take that causes fatigue. I like this font better I did have some difficulty with your other font. You are the designer of your blog and I leave all this up to you.

2012-01-16T13:39:54.149-05:00

Now, I can't remember the before but what I am reading right now is clear and easy to read. Just keep on blogging and we will be able to read most anything.

2012-01-16T12:50:48.465-05:00

Love this font!! Very legible and my old eyes don't have to squint to read it. LEAVE IT ALONE... or I may have to throw something at you. LOL

In case you've changed it again :), I like whatever you're using right now.

2012-01-16T12:29:10.368-05:00

Oh I feel so old right now. Surely the senior moment will pass soon? I can't remember your old font. I'll probably wake up in the middle of the night when I remember. I do that a lot lately.

I'm not having any problems with the current font but I didn't have problems with the old one either.

2012-01-16T12:21:24.792-05:00

A doctor told me one time that eye twitching is from general body fatigue. I don't remember your old font but, had no trouble reading it. I think this present one looks great.

2012-01-16T12:14:50.069-05:00

I like this font better too...the other one was pretty but harder to read. And the sky is TDF. Have a wonderful week~

tootles,

ps. coming from an veteran optician...Your twitch stems from either more reading or computer work than usual or a little more stress in your life or both. Now worries...it'll go away all by itself.
