Last week I rummaged through my precious trash (trash for them but precious for me). I sorted them out and gave a compact space. I threw out all the trash trash and saved the useful trash.

It was then that some creations stirred up my imagination and produced the following:

1. A fancy earring made out of beads, cloth and crochet thread for hair and an earring hook.

2. A shoe that hangs from my cellphone holder where I can put some coins and a key. I also folded a large amount of banknote. Quite a small place to hide something very important.

3. A heart-shaped wallet for my 2nd daughter. It can hold some money and whatever small enough to fit inside. It can also serve as a gift “box” and it can hang around the neck using a neck band.

4. Another wallet formed as a blouse. When my eldest saw the heart-shaped wallet, her imagination ran wild and actually asked me to make her one that is shaped as a blouse/shirt with sabrina neckline and it has to be lavender! She even offered her old real blouse which she has not been using for quite a long time now.
