Hey Folks!

My name is Luci and I’m the one-woman-show at Ballyhoo Creations.

I’ve had some incredibly frustrating moments with embroidery machines in the past twenty years, which is why I’m committed to helping others overcome those challenges and turn that machine into your personal sewing robot.

Some Things You Might Want to Know About Me…

• My first Embroidery Machine around 2005 was a Viking Husqvarna Rose. I’ve had various brands of single-needle machines since then, but now my favorite machine is my 6-needle Babylock.
• In 2009 I began digitizing dolls and tiny doll clothes for my embroidery machine because nobody else was doing it.  Now I have a whole collection of dolls, puppets, and plushie designs for embroidery machines, plus some sewing patterns too.
• If you would like to schedule a 1-on-1 private video session with me, check out my booking page. I’m happy to help you with anything related to machine embroidery or doll/puppet making.
• Openess about brand affiliations is very important to me and I never try to sway you towards a product just to earn a commission. I’m also very picky about the brands I collaborate with. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
• Machines make sense to me. I spent 15 years in the tech industry as an engineer,  tech writer, project manager, and customer service expert. 
• Learning should be fun! I earned my teaching experience while working at a Science Museum, in costume, sometimes making things explode.  
• I live in Oklahoma City with my husband, 2 cats, and 5 chickens in the garden.
• Growth, kindness, and playfulness are all part of my mission.
