 I've been doing the heart bookmark out of that leaflet. I think I've
done about 15 of them these past few days. I got a whole box of crochet
thread from an estate sale. The lady was still alive, but was moving to
a smaller place. She was a 'packrat' of the worst kind. The thread in
this box is all NEW cones and balls, but they are from 70 years ago!
There are some beautiful colors and great crochet thread in there.
I just finished one in 'Pearl Cotton' that is a peach color in the heart 
shape pattern.... oooohhh.. Thats what my wife said !  I've been giving
them away so far, but have a few extra's here.

 I was out to a 'Crafters Showcase' store and saw some Filet Crochet
bookmarks. There seemed to be an endless possibility with them! With the 
computer I can design them with 'Paintbruch' I did get the program off
of AOL, called EasyCross, but haven't tried it out yet.  I'll have to
take a look at some more of the Filet Crochet pieces.
