The "bump-a Ditty" of OT Two-finger uppick Style-Arggh

I am a confident clawhammer player, and have begun dabbling with some OT two-finger up-picking.  (I think)  In review, here is what I think the pattern is:  index up (always on first string), then thumb down on (usually 2nd string)  index up on 1rst string finally thumb down on 5th string?  Is that correct?

I can get the pattern going, and change chords without a major break in tempo,  but I can't get any melody going with this style. 

Even though this may be re-hash, please offer advice, or links to previous discussion.

Thanks, brad
