“She’s going to make some art with them,” the pop star said of her eldest daughter using her mother’s handiwork
Jessica Simpson beams with pride when it comes to the creative future of her daughter Maxwell “Maxi” Drew Johnson.
Before accepting the Icon Award at the 37th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards on Wednesday night at Cipriani South Street in New York, Simpson, 43, told Extra that Maxwell’s shoe size had long since outgrown hers. However, Maxwell has a creative solution to the surrender dilemma.
“My oldest daughter is 11 and a size 10… so she outgrew me a long time ago… I have all these shoes saved for her, but yes, she’ll probably use them as a purse, knowing her. They will turn them into some amazing piece of art or make a piece of art with them,” she explained.

Simpson said she still has a good idea of how to put more of her extra stuff to good use.
“I have Birdie and she could have a minor situation. If not, I’ll put her foot in them when she’s six, just in case, because I didn’t with Maxwell.”

The mother of three – who shares Maxi, 11, Ace Knute Johnson, 10, and Birdie Mae Johnson, 4, with husband Eric Johnson – was asked what her children thought of her latest honour.
“They say, ‘What is that?’ Are you getting the glass slipper?'” Simpson said Extra. “I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll get the glass slipper.’ ”

Simpson also spoke with PEOPLE on Wednesday, sharing how she manages to split her time between living in Los Angeles and working in Nashville while recording new music for the first time in 13 years.
“I’m back and forth a lot so now they know what it’s like to be missed and I feel very loved,” she said of her children.
“They helped me find a house [in Nashville]we’ve all moved there, they’ve picked out their rooms, that stuff, but they’re at school so I’ve got two weeks [in Nashville]two weeks at home,” she continued.

Last month, the “Take My Breath Away” hitmaker spoke with PEOPLE about the latest fall release in his Jessica Simpson collection.
During the conversation, she admitted that she considers her family “family” and talked about the upcoming Christmas holidays.
“My family revolves around the seasons — Maxwell is already in Christmas mode!” Simpson said. “She plays Christmas music on the way to school, she’s already got a little Christmas tree for her room and she’s wafting the scent of pine all over our house.”
