Easter Crochet-A-Long

Getting back into the swing of things - and nothing makes that easier than diving in head first and just going full stroke  (I've never been one to just tread water)...

There have been a ton of UFO's sitting around for the past 3 years.  As the hub would often tease, "my laboratory" looked more like a plushie chop shop.  Legs here, Arms there a Body left wherever...
So without further ado... let's do something with all those body parts..
