Wooden handle tote

This is a purse I really like. I have made 2 of these so far. I learned after the first one that the sides should be closed part way (not completely like my first one). I used Marti Gras beads this time for the top, where the pattern calls for the twisted cord (which is dumb and next to impossible). Anyway, so here it is, the pattern and my pic.
