Who is Leslie Karen?
Leslie Karen is a blog dedicated to women who are forever curious, passionate and don’t believe in limits. I love DIY’ing and trying to figure out how to do things, traveling, designing interiors, finding good restaurants, fashion and reading. Basically just about anything creative and artistic.

My Trip to Asia Part 1 – Hong Kong
My mother is part of a travel club and she asked me if I wanted to go to Japan. I said yes immediately because it was on my bucket list. At the last minute they added Hong Kong for a nominal fee and that made it even better.
My Renovation Journey – Part 3
At this point I was still in “la la land” and everything was going relatively smoothly. We were still in demo mode, so still tearing stuff out. I found a picture of my plans. At the time I was so proud seeing my name on the plans and looking at everything that was in my brain, on paper.
The 14 Best Small Makers on Etsy
I can’t say enough about how much I love Etsy. I’ve been a customer for years and order all the time from my favorite shops for gifts, all of my fabric and items that I can’t find anywhere else. All of these shops are listed for the uniqueness of their products. There are many makers in the United States that offer a product that you can’t get anywhere else, but I tried to include a mix of both domestic and international sellers.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
