Hi, I’m Monica—the maker behind Resonating Whimsy! After 15 years of teaching math, I traded the classroom for life at home with my two boys. Creating, though, has always been part of who I am.

I come from a long line of makers. My grandmother made quilts and crocheted blankets, and my mother and aunt tried more crafts than I could possibly list. I learned to crochet around age nine, and that was just the beginning.

Since then, I’ve explored all kinds of materials and techniques. I’ve never settled on just one medium—there are too many interesting things to make! I love following an idea wherever it takes me and turning it into something beautiful, unexpected, or a little whimsical.

Resonating Whimsy is where I share those creations with you. My hope is that you’ll find something that feels like you and brings a little more wonder into your everyday life.
