Otis The Cat – Envy:
Otis spends most of his day on social media watching other people’s work and feeling envious of them. He doesn’t realise that he has the skills and the knowledge to make everything he wants. The only thing that he actually lacks is confidence.
– Otis, crafting is not a competition, it’s supposed to make you feel happy! Stop scrolling through the posts and focus on the things you love! I believe you will do great things.
