About Jack n Al Embroidery

Tomaika, the owner of Jack n Al Embroidery, began her embroidery journey in 2008 while navigating life as a military spouse and stay-at-home mom of two.  With her husband serving in the United States Army, she sought a creative outlet that combined her love for crafting with the joys of motherhood.  What started as a simple project to make a crayon holder for her children soon turned into her first signature product:  the Krayon Keeper, which she continues to create and sell to this day.

The inspiration for her embroidery business came from a thoughtful gift - personalized ruffled bloomers for her newborn daughter.  Receiving something so special and customized sparked the idea that would eventually grow into a thriving small business.

While living in El Paso, TX, Tomaika began showcasing her handmade and embroidered products at military spouse luncheons, gradually building a loyal customer base.  With each relocation to new military installations, she continued to grow her brand by vending at events and sharing her unique creations.

Today, Tomaika produces a wide range of embroidered and handmade items, including faith-based apparel, baby gifts, and mug rugs, among others.  Her mission remains simple: to create meaningful, personalized products that bring joy to others.

Tomaika is proud to be a wife, mother, and entrepreneur - dedicated to craftsmanship, creativity, and community.
