My squishy key pouch

It's Sunday today! ..... (I think I heard people saying a loud "Duh...")
I decided to give myself a break despite of the pile of works that kept me suffocated by doing something productive.

Well technically I had a fruitful week with all those bengkels and meeting filling up my time, but still.. I felt that time passed so fast that I couldn't recalled any productive thing.

And so... I decided to make something today!
Yeap, a key pouch for my car key!

I like to use bigger bags because I can hantam put ojipala stuffs in it. Smaller bags, neh.... all you can keep inside are:

1. Mobile phone
2. Keys
3. Wallet

IF you're lucky, you might be able to slip in your lip gloss or mascara too. But the chances are pretty low.

Thus, I always have problems searching for my car key in my bag. My house keys are kept separately using the meow-meow key pouch (remember?) because I thought it's more convenient to separate them.

I sat on my bed and start thinking how would I want it to be. Meaning, it's 100% Nonnie's idea, skills and creativity! Copyright eh.



I wanted it to be all fluffy and squishy so that it's easy to find in my bag (without looking in to the bag) and cute... and girly too, to satisfy my needs for making me feel young and kawaii *vomit*

The extra rectangular part on the right is for making a hole to stuff my key in and on the left, it's just a reminder for myself not to stitch everything up. Must remember to leave a small gap to stuff in the cotton.

Then you can draw it on the piece of cloth and estimate the size.


and stitch...stitch...and stitch. Lastly, stuff some cotton in to make it kembang. =p

What you think? Nice? At least for me it is, since I came up with the idea and made it all by myself.

If you asked why the letter "K", because K stands for King, and also Key. Simple.

I also added in an extra 'ear' for it so that I can hang it on the key holder.

But it's not perfect. Right after I'd finished it I realized a few places that I can improved. Well...at least Bobby will get a nicer one because for sure he'll bug me in making him one too. He's demanding.


It looks pretty matching with the thingie I hanged on my rear view mirror in my car though. Of course lah, from the same piece of cloth and also same colour theme, white + pink.


As you can see, it's quite big compare to other usual leather and rectangular key pouch which is so boring. Again, the main point of making this key 'bag' is for my convenience in searching my car key in my bag, and so I made it big and squishy.

Nice to see, nice to touch and it comes in pretty handy. Can use it as a little pillow too~

Just a little piece of my mind....

You know you're getting older when

- scientific calculator is no use to you because you no longer need those the sin, cos, tan buttons.


And you prefer those big-ass calculator with big buttons.


Sigh.. seeing the picture above just reminded me to get back to work on those bloody reports.

Wardah : I'm sure he's just kidding. And also, it's good to have people who talk straight from their mind and not keep things inside kan?

I'm beginning to think that you can make anything. The key pouch looks very attractive, and of course i will bug you and want one too but I want the one that you've just made. You could start a business in stuff toys too. A very creative mind, even the cards you made for me are very nice. I have to learn from you now to be creative.

I do remember those scientifict calculators but I tend not to use it while studying in Uni now because it tends to make me lazy even calculating small digits I will use. But it's pretty frustrating when you have big fingers because I always seems to press the button wrongly and ended up frustrated. Big calculator with big button more convenience.

But I've seen the financial calculators that people used in bank.
