Crochet and esparto basket making

This is the front view of the top I have been making for myself with crochet motifs

And this is the back
I have not yet decided if I need to add more or just wear it as is but I will ask  my friends from the knitting /crochet club on Monday ( and also my daughter who is coming over to visit too) 

Here is a cute basket I made today with esparto grass. The handle is designed so it can hang on the wall as a decorative feature. I decided to wrap some wooden beads around it to go with the colour scheme in my room

I think it has turned out nice, as it is my first solo attempt

as the Esparto grass weaving class is now on holiday.I may also fill it with flowers (artificial) or maybe make some fabric ones..
