About Denielle
Childhood
Dreams
I have been creating ever since I can remember ... from mud pies to sewing clothes for my barbies. My lovely mum taught me the skills of yarn at a very young age and my love for all things crafty grew from there.






My Love Of Craft
I have played with all types of craft and have been an avid crafter since the age of about 7. As a qualified Dress Designer & Maker I naturally turn to all things creative, I quilt, bead, knit, crochet, cross stitch and I began papercrafting in 2010 and I totally fell in love with it. I joined Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator and I haven't looked back.
Creating is my passion and my life.














Makers Craft Retreats
I started to run my own Craft Retreats ( Craft Camps ) in 2010 for my need to be with like minded women, all crafting and inspiring each other. These retreats became a quintessential part of my life, as well as the ladies that attend my retreats. I needed these crafty breaks as they were like a therapy for me. Women need women! We really do - we need to banter, laugh, vent, support, congratulate, inspire, teach ! Our retreats are just the break you need!
You wont know you actually needed the break until you do!
Over the years I have met with many ladies that also love to have their own retreat and now I run several Craft Retreats a year. They run from 3 days to 5 days. We are in a stunning rural setting, with the most gorgeous surroundings. There is ample crafting space, the craft room is open 24hours and boasts daylight globes, so ample light for crafting into the wee hours if required. Enjoy a generous full sized table space to work on B.Y.O craft supples and relax and craft away. There is no craft agenda, so your time is your own.
The accommodation is clean and super comfortable. Rooms are twin share with beautiful hotel quality linen, comfy just waiting for you to relax and rest. Prices start as low as $299 per person, this includes 3 days crafting, 2 afternoon teas, unlimited Tea & Coffee and of course your accommodation. We also have a 5 day option for only $489 - Most women prefer those extra days.
You have the option to self cater or for a small cost have delicious meals prepared for you. You can have one meal a day catered,
or all 3, the choice is yours. We also have an inhouse fully qualified massage therapist and naturopath who offers amazing treatments at a discounted cost! Your time spent with us is all about you, relax and enjoy.
There is also the opportunity to visit to the Wonderful Historical Tocal Homestead with a Devonshire Tea. This is something you would arrange yourself, Tocal Homestead is open every Sunday March until November.
