Hello Possums....
I did it.. I got some sewing done!!! yeah!!!
If you have a weak stomach, avert your eyes....... NOW!!!!
this poor tangle is not a dismemberment... its four dolls I am making, I mean, why make one when you can make four??? 
The pattern is a Kindred Spirits pattern from "Needleworks Book" there are quite a few projects in there I'd like to make...
I also traced this pattern off and got some small amount of embroidery done... Its a Rosalie Quinlan pattern (which for the life of me I can't remember what it is called)... I have actually traced this pattern before, but someone (pointing at 'self) might of thought it was new fabric and chopped it up in error.. silly lissa... so it was retraced and the whisperweft straight on the back so I dont make that mistake again (well not for a long time)... 
I did also do some 'secret sewing' I wish I could show you, but its a secret... I am off to retreat in May and we are having a recycled flannelette shirt challenge, the top has to be 100% recycled flannelette shirts... flannelette is a _)#(*$@#(%*& to work with.. I HATE it.. To be honest, if I hadn't paid $6-8/shirt and bought 11 of them, I would of abandoned this challenge, but soldier on! I got some interfacing at spotty the other day ($2/m or $7 for 10m's?? no brainer there)and it has made a huge difference... :O)))
well thats all thats happening in the land of Lissa.. Having my MRI on my poor old fat knee on Monday (well both knees are old and fat, but one is sorer than the other)... wish me luck!

Good Luck with the MRI Lissa.
So good to know others screw up projects occasionally. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one.
And your pile of doll bits does look rather disturbing but I'm glad you managed to achieve some sewing.
Good luck to you and your old fat knee for the MRI.....hmmm flannelette shirt challenge...sounds interesting....looking forward to seeing some pics from the retreat...where are you off to? BTW ..just so you know...March has marched right on and is almost done! Great that you have been able to do some stitching....Enjoy!
Good luck with the MRI missy. Love the photos of your projects. I see you got off your bum and did some sewing.

WooHoo! You got some sewing done! I laughed at your soldier on comment -- sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and get those projects outtahere! Good luck with your MRI!
Good Luck with the MRI!!!
Hugs - Jodie :)
I totally identify with your pile of doll parts, one can never make just one doll at a time!
