Almost 2 year old dog chewing EVERYTHING?

I have a Doxie Pin whom was adopted about a week before Christmas. We've been crate training her, and mastering the housebreaking, and she's been doing great and spending more time out of the crate. Now she has adopted a chewing habit. In the past 3 days, she has devoured 7 wooden baby blocks, 13 pencils, 2 stuffed animals, and completely shredded her pet bed. She is constantly climbing onto the end tables to grab anything she can chew on. This JUST started within the last week or so. We've tried giving her rawhides-she does great just gnawing away, and then she vomits everywhere because she decides to swallow half of the chunks she bites off. Tried a Busy Bone (I think that's what it's called). She ate that thing in about 10 minutes, then threw up everywhere. Tried hard jerky treats, again, she devours them in mere seconds and vomits. I keep reading she will chew out of boredom, but she's playing with the kids all day, she's taken outside about every 2 hours for about 15-20 min?
