Hi Crocee,
I tend to get lost in the details--the dog, organ, framed dreaming picture. I'm sort of leaning to seeing both sides as equal except the frame on the right is capable of getting more work done with her Davis sewing machine. Her expression strikes me as one concentrating on there work with a slight weary look as she appears to be binding scallops. I think sleeping has also something to do with the artist's meaning. Just not sure though your explanation is as good as any.
