Life Update: Exciting News & A Temporary Hiatus

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to take a moment to share some big news and give you all an update on why things have been a little quiet around here. Life has taken a very exciting turn—back in September, I found out I was pregnant 👶! This will be my first baby, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier. It’s been such a surreal experience knowing that we’ll be welcoming a little one into our lives in June 2025.

That being said, this pregnancy has definitely come with its challenges. As much as I love creating, writing, and sharing with you all, I’ve had to slow down quite a bit. The first trimester hit me with all the classic symptoms—fatigue, nausea, and just generally feeling like I needed to hibernate. While I had hoped to keep up with my usual schedule of blog posts and videos, I quickly realized that I needed to listen to my body and give myself the rest I needed.

I truly appreciate everyone’s patience and support during this time. I know many of you look forward to my posts, and I hate feeling like I’m letting anyone down. But I promise, this isn’t goodbye! I’ll do my best to get back into the swing of things when I can. Some days are better than others, so whenever I have the energy, I’ll try to post and keep you all updated.

For now, I’m taking things one step at a time and focusing on this new chapter in my life. Thank you all for sticking around and being such an amazing part of this journey with me. Your support means the world, and I can’t wait to share more with you in the months ahead!

Much love ❤️,
Kim

A Cup of Support: Fueling My Creative Journey with a Ko-fi!

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share a little something special with you today. As many of you know, I’ve been dedicated to creating and sharing DIY projects, origami tutorials, and crochet plushies. To keep this creative journey going strong, I’ve set up a Ko-fi page!

What is Ko-fi?

Ko-fi is a wonderful platform that lets you support creators like me by buying a virtual “coffee.” Even the smallest contribution can have a big impact, helping me continue doing what I love—creating fun and unique projects. Along with my Etsy shop, Ko-fi provides an additional way for you to show your appreciation and help me grow as a creator.

How Your Support Helps

Every single donation, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful difference in:

  • Covering Essential Costs: Your support helps me manage not only the cost of crafting supplies but also everyday living expenses, including rent and bills. By donating, you’re not only helping me continue my creative journey but also supporting my family. Every “coffee” brings us one step closer to financial stability, allowing me to focus on what I love most.
  • Investing in New Ideas: Your generosity gives me the freedom to explore fresh ideas, purchase new materials, and improve my skills. With your help, I can create even more exciting content and offer new projects for you to enjoy.

How to Support

Supporting me on Ko-fi is easy and quick! Head over to my page at ko-fi.com/orikim_creations, hit the “Buy Me a Coffee” button, and choose an amount that works for you. You can even leave a message of encouragement if you’d like—I always love reading them!

Thank You!

I’m incredibly thankful for your continued support and kindness. Your generosity not only allows me to keep pursuing my passion but also helps me provide for my family. Whether you contribute or simply enjoy my work, you’re an essential part of my journey. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me and being such an amazing part of this creative adventure! ❤️

Hello World!

Welcome to my Orikim Journey! 😎

Hey there! I’m Kim, and I’m thrilled to start sharing my creative journey with you. This blog will follow my adventures in origami and crochet.

I always had a love of origami, the art of folding paper into intricate designs. Alongside that, I’m hopping on the crochet train and diving into yarn crafts. You’ll find my latest origami projects, and soon, my crochet creations right here.

You may also find a few posts here and there that explore my other interests beyond crafts. From beautiful fishing spots to the vibrant feathers of little bird friends, and the delightful aroma of freshly baked goodies and food—these moments of joy and inspiration find their way into my work and life.

For those interested in owning a piece of my work, you can also check out my Etsy shop Orikim where I list available items.

For more of my work and updates, you can also check out my Instagram, @orikim_creations.

Thank you for joining me on this creative journey. I’m excited to share more with you soon!
