About Me

Introduction:

Welcome to Sassy Lime Creates, a haven for all things creative and intentional living! I’m Emily, but my friends call me Emma.

Fun tidbit: The name Sassy Lime Creates comes from the palindrome “Emily’s Sassy Lime”!

I’m thrilled to share my journey of crafting joy, practicing mindfulness, and exploring the boundless realms of creativity with you.

Here are a few things to get to know me a bit better:

Crafting Passion

I have loved crafting since before I can remember. My mom ALWAYS had some crafty project for my sisters and me to do growing up. The ones I remember the most are the ones I still love today, beading, scrapbooking, and crochet. I get so much joy out of both the process and the finished product. Please share your favorite crafts with me!

The Adventurous Crafter

I do love beading, scrapbooking, and crochet, but I am up for trying any craft. I like to play with polymer clay, peg dolls, wood working, metal stamping, and the list just goes on and on. There are a few things I haven’t tried that I’d love to. One that I’ve always been fascinated by is glass blowing. Anyone know a glass blowing teacher?!

Beyond Crafts – Personal Interests

When I’m not spending my free time crafting, I’m probably spending it reading. I mostly read fantasy type books, but do occasionally enjoy other genres. Because I love fantasy, my crafts often lead toward the whimsical fantastical side.

I’m a dog person, like a crazy dog person. If we were to meet on the street, the only words I would speak directly to you are “Can I say hello?” as I gesture desperately toward your dog. I have three pups of my own. Albus, a chiweenie x pekapoo mix, who is my soul mate. Max a rescue we have no idea what breed he is. He looks like a long haired, floppy eared German Shepard, but only 13 lbs. Stout is my Frenchie, who makes me laugh a 1000 times a day and is glued to me 24/7.

Another silly thing about me, I am a fun drink enthusiast! I love fruity teas, creative cocktails and most of all anything with boba! I’m not sure why I love fun drinks so much, but I’m always in search of my next fun drink.

Attempt at Mindfulness

I have struggled with anxiety and minor depression for most of my adult life. I’ve been working hard to get it under control, and I have with the help of medication. Something I’m working on to help me with my mental health is practicing mindfulness and meditation. I go through spells where I’m really good at it, and other times I never practice. I am hoping to incorporate my love for crafting into my mental health journey. I’m not quite sure what that will look like, but I will share it here. If anyone has any ideas about how to use crafting as mindfulness, I’d love to hear about it.

Planner Enthusiast.

One of the things that fulfills me creatively is working in a planner. My planners are not as beautiful and perfect as those I see on social media, but I’ve worked hard to accept my planners as they are. They are a simple type of beautiful with lots of colored pens and stickers.

Let’s Have Fun

I am thrilled to have you joining me on my creative journey. Creation for me is more than just tangible crafts, but creating intangible things like joy as well. Take a peek at my post about creating intangible things here.
