26/07/23 I HAVE MOVED PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOU HAVE THE UP TO DATE ADDRESS
Hello!! I just realised I haven’t updated my profile since I joined 3 years ago so I thought I would rewrite it from scratch!
I’m Charlie I’m 20 from south London. I’m nonbinary and use he/they pronouns. I’m queer and autistic and my identity is very important to me. I have a 11-year-old doggo called Mickey and a 2-year-old cat called Rey. I’m one of those people who love animals more than humans!! I struggle a lot with my mental health but I’m proud to say I’m nearly 18months hospital free. Crafting has really helped get me through and I probably wouldn’t be here without it.
I started pen palling in lockdown as a way to meet some new people and I have been writing ever since. Through pen palling I fell in love with crafting and now I try everything I can get my hands on. Some of my favourite crafts are papercraft, crochet, embroidery, sewing, cross stitch, and bookbinding to name a few but I’m always interested in learning new crafts (ive just ordered a model greenhouse kit)
I think another important thing to note is that I am dyslexic, I am so sorry if I spell something wrong I really a trying my best!!
In terms of swapping, I’m very relaxed, if you have to send it late it’s okay! just drop me a message to let me know :) I’m not one of those people who scrutinise postmarks. I very very rarely rate down and on the odd occasion it has been because there was 0 communication. I also pretty much always give hearts because I well and truly love everything I receive. Just knowing that someone has gone to the effort to send me something is enough I don’t care about loads of extras the thought really is what matters to me. If you have a problem with one of my swaps please message me, I am very willing to resend and do what I can’t to fix the issue.
Another important note is the postal system. Recently the postal system in the UK has been a shambles, lots of strikes, damaged letters, missing letters. This is out of my control, if you have a issue please message me and I will do what I can to resolve it!
I am really not fussy when it comes to things, I like to receive I can almost always find a use for everything!! I will pop a Wishlist at the bottom as I know it can be easier when you have a guide but please do not feel like you have to send me something from it I really am good with most things!
In august 2022 I was gifted a sewing machine and have since learnt to sew! I’m still a beginner but I’m really enjoying it! If anyone has any fabric squares (for patchwork), fat quarters, patterns (ideally men’s or kids) or even just some tips I would love to receive them. I recently got sent a pack of fabric squares from a penal so I turned it into a patchwork pencil case for her!
i saw one of my partners didn't have a dislike list and i loved this idea so much honestly i am always so happy with everything i receive. If i receive something i have no use for i just pass it on to someone else! here are just a few things that i don't really have a use for but of course if you have nothing else to send im still grateful for it :) - tea/coffee sticky notes - napkins - metal dies - religious items - food - things with phrases such as 'you go girl' i am non binary and do not identify as female so these sorts of phrases make me a tad uncomfortable, -anything racist/transphobic/sexist ect
I am allergic to egg so if possible please avoid sending me something that contains egg
here is my current wishlist but honestly i love EVERYTHING i receive
-anything star wars related
-anything with positive messages (badges/postcards/stickers ect)
-anything vintage themed - this is my current favourite theme for pen palling so anything vintage would be super useful I particular love old pages from diary's/notebooks the earliest one i have collected is from 1929!!
washi/ washi samples (ideally the 15mm ones)
Stickers (non kiddie/reward/planner)
chipboard for bookbinding
dinosaur themed items
pride themed items
envelopes

OMG Charlie, I am so proud of you. Your package blew me away. To see all the wonderful projects you did with the things I sent you. So wonderful to see the fabric used in such a perfect way. And what can I say about the book you bind for me, it's a treasure, what a perfect way to use this Monopoly board. How about this notecard, do you mean you made that yourself too?. It is all so perfect, I am so grateful for everything you made for me, it's a gift from the heart. Thank you so, so much!!
Thank you for these beautiful flipbook and all the goodies you put in the pockets. This was so fun to open up. You made my day!!❤️🥰
Take care!!
Merry Christmas
