• I make worry dolls out of miniture clothespins and embroidery floss.

• I have purchased these little boxes of worry dolls. I find them at stores that sell trinkits for about a dollar. The instructions say that the dolls are given to small children to use at bedtime. The little boxes are very pretty, and it is amazing to open it up and see the brightly colored minature family. There will be some adults and several children and at least one small baby. They are about the size of a fat toothpick with clothes and hair and painted faces. I have seen these gaudy little boxes on the night stands of the fashion gurus.
