I’m a little behind and had legitimate reasons which I won’t get into, but I’m glad to say I am once more caught up with this challenge. 52 pairs of Earrings a Year… I’m happy to present…
#17 with the Theme “Tangerine Tango” for which I created simple enough triangular pendants with my Batik & Shimmer technique
For week #18 which is an open theme, I created resin monarch butterflies
Week #19 had another theme which was ANYTHING FAUX…so here they are, some of my faux ROMAN COINS.
Week #20 or May 13-19 is the open theme for which I created some traditional beaded earrings with goldstone coins and glass bead fringes.
and I have another new thing…isn’t it interesting?? (I have another that looks exactly the same)
what is it you may ask?
My new hearing aides!!!! YAY!!! Those of you (you know who you are) who helped to make this purchase possible, I thank you. So much technology packed into a box that measures a mere 1 inch. These are now my favourite pairs of earrings! I have 4 programs for these, general, speech in noise, outdoors and music. My favourite setting is speech in noise which doesn’t amplify all the sounds distant and near as it does for the general setting, but only amplifies sound in the immediate area. The receiver has a telecoil which automatically tunes the aides to my analog phone when I place the receiver near my ear. I avoided the phone for far too long. No more excuses! Next time I’m in the city, I’ll have the programs tweaked a bit more, but they are pretty darn good!
Oh congrats Tina! Must make such an amazing difference to your life.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby has a non-treatable degenerative eye disease which has made me really sit back and count my blessings that I can see well. It waws the same goes when I read your post - I'm so very, very lucky to have good hearing too.
Wonderful that technology has been able to help you. x
