My name is Rachele (pronounced "Rachael"). I am 29 years old and love to draw, crochet, cook and take photos. I have more than a few tattoos and I have been pescetarian for more than a year. I have been married for almost a decade to my high school sweetheart.
We live in Oregon in a teeny house filled with the many findings of our thrifting trips, including a collection of owls, globes, mushrooms and pyrex. We spend our weekends watching movies or going on adventures in our beautiful state, Oregon. But mostly we love staying home with our three kitties.

Hi Rachele, greetings from India
I just found your blog and you sound so sweet! This blog is absolutely wonderful--I swear, it's like a giant mug of hot chocolate two days before Christmas. If that makes any sense? ^_^;
Rebecca from We Are Large, People sent me here after I complimented her on her blog design. I just spent some time poking around on your blog and have come to the following conclusion: you are great.
Aw thanks dear! You are too sweet!
Hehe, that is so cute.
Hiya! So exciting to have people from all over here!
I would be happy to help you make a button! I am not doing button trades anymore though. Email me at rachele@nearsightedowl.com if you would some help <3
We love your blog and love your kitties!
Hi from Texas :-)
I'm passionate about girls/women and self-esteem issues, and I hope to do some "official" work with that someday. For now I do what I can with my high school English students :-)
You're an inspiration to girls of all sizes. Woot woot!
Hi from Olathe KS,
Wow!!! Very impressive! I so love it! I very much enjoyed your page! Its so pretty & offers a warm invitation to your personal world reflecting glimpse of who you are. I too am passionate about self-esteem, healthy at any size, and self-awareness issues. I love creating artwork, I love to write, read and enjoy taking pics...lots of pics. My goal is to serve and make a difference in someones life by sharing my thoughts, experiences, passions, falls, accomplishments, fears, tears, laughters, etc etc. I've recently created my blog & I have to admit it can be quite frustrating for a beginner. "/ So I am reaching out to anyone who is willing to offer any friendly tips that may help me begin. I so need it! Your blog/page is of inspiration to me. Thanks! MayraA
I am trying to learn more about blogging & on how to personalize my own page by just exploring. I've come across some very impressive stuff; yours is one of my favs. Are there any tips/advice you can offer me on how to create an awesome page blog such as yours? I'd so be grateful! :)
Hi there Rachele,
I'm so glad i stopped by your space (i'm new). It's so refreshing to see people living bravely and helping to give women of all sizes permission to be their beautiful selves!
plus... you like owls. yay.
take care and looking forward to checking in again soon!
Hi again from Olathe KS,
Uggggg! You see, I do not know why my pic did not post with my previous comment; instead it shows with your owl???? Mayra
Hi there! Sorry it won't show your pic unless you are registered with disqus.com. I am not sure but I think if you login with Twitter/Facebook, it will then show you pic as well.
Thank you for stopping by! It means a lot to me that I am possibly helping someone out there. <3
Thank you! That is really sweet of you! I just listed Live Blogger Help in my Etsy if that is something you are interested in. Or if you have any specific questions you can email me at rachele@nearsightedowl.com and I will do my best to help!
Good for you! That is awesome :)
Yay! Thank you!
Hello Rachele! I just came across your blog and I gotta say, you had me smiling the whole time! <3 I love that you are so accepting of yourself. We could all learn a thing or two from you. Thanks for being an inspiration to all us curvy ladies! :D
I love your blog, so creative, fun, honest and inspiring! Very nice layout, makes me want to drink a coffee while reading, which I am...:-) Anne
I found your blog looking for inspiration for pixie cuts on curvy girls like me. About two blog posts into it I thought to myself, "Self, this chick totally lives here in Portland." And I was right! Why do we have so many damn awesome people, that's what I want to know. Also: Love your hair.
You are soo stinkin' cute! I love your hair! :D
