Dolls and Square Bears

Well I said I would try and get pictures of the dolls I got, in my last blog post. These are the ones I got at the Dollar Tree. Not the best picture. 
And these are two bigger dolls I bought for the "Baby Syndee Layette" patterns. You  can see I already crocheted one outfit. I just have to do the elastic around the waist for the panties. These got put on the back burner, since I've been doing hats and squares for chemo patients lately. I am honestly getting overwhelmed with all my projects. I hate it when this happens. It takes the fun out of crocheting for me.
I had seen a Facebook page, "Chemo Project Crochet" or something like that. She takes squares and makes them into comfortghans for chemo patients.  Some of them are small children. That's what the squares I am doing are for, small children.  I have had this big bag of variegated yarn forever that I got at a yard sale in Nevada. I was going to do the Square Bear pattern. But I could not wrap my head around it!! (I tried it the second day after I had chemo, so I am blaming it on chemo brain...)  I was looking at my blog, and I know I'd done lots of these squares before! So a couple days later, I tried again. I figured it out. :P  This is what I had done (I finished one more each of the peach and the green bears since this picture was taken). I don't know how many I will do. I was kind of thinking five each. But, I am getting overwhelmed. I still have to do all the faces on the squares...  (Sigh) Here are some more squares I did before, too. All different colored ones.


 And, I did these. The squares are supposed to measure 9 x9 inches. You can see the variegated ones are to small and I'm going to have to add to those, too. Sigh....  I'm just going to sc around the edges.
