I’m the creator of ritziecat, an online Etsy shop. Six years ago I moved to Kansas Daily Inter Lake , Daybook City when I married my husband, we have 3 boys that keep me very busy. I love Kansas City it is so pretty and just the perfect pace of living for me. I am a stay at home mom but I also assist my husband in running his company and any free time I have I make jewelry.

I started making my creations about 5 years ago after visiting a friend who was beading around a glass cabochon. My pieces were pretty simple at first but gradually I began to incorporate more and more bead embroidery in them. I had done quite a bit of needlepoint and cross-stitch so bead embroidery came pretty easily for me.

What’s more, he Upstairs Circus, with DIY projects & booze, to open in downtown Austin got the opportunity to greet the neighbors. Not only did he get physical exercise, but some needed socialization as well.
