Outfit + Life // Keep Me Warm

Oh ladies, (and gents:) It is so cold! It snowed all Wednesday night here, leaving us with about eight inches of snow now! Flurries and gusts of cold winds has kept us indoors must of the week.This kind of fierce weather reminds me how much we are blessed to have a cozy home we know is waiting for us! Sometimes it is hard to be grateful while trying to clean this under construction house, I mean, there are so many people who actually have cabinetry! :) But then I remember that there are also people who don't have what we do- more than one room to live in, insulated walls, wood floors, windows, trees, slow, 25 mile an hour traffic, pets, the list goes has really no end! If only I could catch myself every time before getting frustrated!   *sigh*

Part of my reluctance to be frustrated started yesterday while getting our kitchen ready for a fundraiser that we have planned for tomorrow.As we have said before in some past posts, Rebekah, our Dad, and I are going on a mission trip to Lithuania in the summer! I have been meaning to write up a temporary tab about the trip so that everyone (especially new readers) can know what is going on and so that we can link back to it! I should be working on that this weekend.

Any who, our fundraiser for tomorrow is the task of making 100 dozen pig in the blankets.Have you heard of them before ? We make tons of them! They are wonderful for selling! Not to mention they are delish! :) If you have not heard of them before check out this post that Rebekah typed up the last time we made them!

This outfit is what I have been living in all week, with an occasional change of the long sleeve. :) Just an 'around the house, I am freezing, keep me coordinated' outfit. :)
I found this super cozy, J-Jill, sweater vest as I was about to check out at Goodwill last week for $3! I love it! The color, the fit, the price! :)
The wonderful three tiered skirt (for around the house and horse-back riding:) I found at the same time I bought the sweater I wore in this post. It is so much fun to wear and was such a great find at just $2! Even though I usually wear dresses for house work and such, this has kept me super warm and been a nice change. :)

Boots, thrifted, $5 (I believe) // Stockings, gifted // Four layered petticoat, made by me, $7 in fabric // Undershirt, thrifted, $2 // Long sleeve, hand-me-down from a friend's mom :) // Sweater vest, J-Jill, goodwill, $3 // Scarf , made by me, yarn was gifted

We would greatly appreciate prayers for our endeavor tomorrow, especially since just about everyone in our family has now had some kind of the flu these past couple of weeks, despite our chugging of fruits and vitamins! Please pray for clear thinking, patience while working together, and good health!   :)

                                                                                       SO,
                                                           Have you heard of pig in the blankets ?
                                                  What have you been wearing to keep back the chills ?
                                                          Have you been doing any fundraising lately ?
                                                       Have you ever been on a mission trip-anywhere ?

                                                                                       love,
                                                                                      Cassie

P.S.  A few of you had questions in your comment in Monday's post. I finally got around to answering
