  No, Jean, this is one of the few I couldn’t find the name…

    I may have found the name, Loom and Thread.

I really enjoy all of Carl Larsson’s books of his watercolors. Amazon, of course, carries those. For a small book, I can recommend his “Farm” for a look at life 100 years ago; or “The World of Carl Larsson” which is more of a coffee table size book.

And I have this cute tray http://store.swedishamericanmuseum.org/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/r/breakfast_under_the_birtch_samdwish_tray_edited_1.jpg

And there are individual prints at http://www.artflakes.com/en/shop/carl-larsson
or

but I don’t see this particular sewing one, though there are others.

Hmmm, her studio looks very serene. My sewing room looks like an explosion happened. Beautiful painting; a girl can always dream.

  Maybe in the New Year, we can clean our studios???

Love this piece. Thank you for sharing. Would love a print / poster of this on my wall in my sewing room. Any suggestions?

Viewing this watercolor is a wonderful way to begin the day! I’d like to enlarge it to
study the detail; a magnifying glass would work too.
Thank You, Lori, and Merry Christmas!
