Tha Shona Masson a’cur roimhpe gun a bhi tilgeil na h-uiread chun na sitig, ach rudan innteanach ùra a chruthachadh leis – agus airgiod a chosnadh do charthannas a toradh a saothair. Tha i a’ceannach seann chuibhrige leapa agus cuiseanan ann am bùth charthannais Emmaus, feuch an dèan Eilidh Daniels teant-cluiche chloinne leotha.

Aon uair’s gu bheil sgeul aig Eilidh air an tuaiream a tha dhìth oirre, tha Shona ga cuideachadh a’tomhas, a’gearradh agus a’fuaigheal. Tha’n teant an uairsin a’falbh dhan bhùth feuch an dèan i prìs nas fheàrr.

Tha Shona fhèin a’cruthachadh gèam do chlann bheag le buill gholf, agus a’dèanamh bòrd cailc le seann frèam is lèine a cheannaich i ann am bùth charthannais.

Shona Masson is on a mission not only to reduce waste and create exciting new things but also to raise some money for charity while she does it. She buys an old duvet set and some cushions from the Emmaus charity shop for Eilidh Daniels to transform into a kids’ play tent.

Once Eilidh has done the maths, Shona helps with the measuring, cutting and sewing and then takes the finished tepee back to Emmaus to find out if it will fetch a higher price. Shona also invents a new game for toddlers using painted golf balls, and makes a chalkboard using an old frame and blouse she bought in a charity shop.
