Last monday of the month

Brown Stone Creations has officially been at the new premises, 5th floor of 7 Anton Anrieth arcade, Foreshore, Cape Town, for two full months. Yeah guys I finally know my address. Took a while.

Taking time to reflect, it is very evident that only God could have led, carried and pulled us through to where we are right now. It is about time we stopped taking all the credit and paying it to where it is due. So today I'm dedicating this blog post to the one and only God I serve. The Alpha and Omega. The "root and seed" as Kazi puts it. The All-knowing, All-mighty, Ever-present, unchanging, the "Spear, Sword and Shield. The Warrior" as Sipho says. The Author and finisher of my faith. The one who wrote my life even before I was a concept.

Thank you Father for your guidance and love. Let me never forget who is in charge lest I steer this ship in the wrong direction. I praise you for all you have done in my life.

The electronic wonder

I still don't get how phone calls work. How you can press a few numbers and be able to speak (real time) with someone in the next room or all the way accross the world. A friend tried explaining it to me. Said something about waves and signals and towers. Still don't get it.

But either way, its working. And what's even better is the fact that technology allows me to do Brown Stone Creations work on the train to work. Just this morning I have connected via Whatsapp with clients in 2 different continents VERY far from Africa and I get instant responses. So thanx to you, whoever you are, who keeps improving my business without even knowing it.

Here's to waves and towers and satellites and the works.

Exodus Klan & Passion 4 Christ Movement

I'm travelling to work alone today because Sipho has to deliver some tickets for the Speak Life show featuring P4CM and EK. Let me rephrase that: 2 of the P4CM members will be hosted by True Souldier at their quarterly Speak Life event. Exodus Klan is the local poetry outfit that will be featured in the same show. If you don't know either of these, google, youtube, or ask me. But don't sit around and do nothing. This is some life changing stuff. Tickets are still available (I think).

Anyway, I'm super excited about this because word has it that Brown Stone Creations will be dressing/styling EK for the gig. WORD! Brown Stone Men has been born. Maybe. Just maybe Vocal Family will also make an appearance on the night, also dressed by BSC. Just a hunch. Exciting things are happening and its all thanx to God.

So be there. If not for the poetry, for the fashion. Preferably for both.
XOXO

Interesting situations

Its the 1st official work day for this month (nevermind that I was at work yesterday) and I'm looking forward to the day. My "roomie" is scheduled to move and I am to have the whole studio to myself, I have awesome dresses to make today, and I'm inlove... With BSC. Happy space indeed.

1. The queue leading to the train ticket window was unbelievable. But Mdu and I made a plan to get to Bellville where we waited for the delayed train in the dark.

2. Train eventually arrives and for the 1st time since I started using it, some music is playing. Awesome! Not. The song selection is amazingly inappropriate and too loud. I feel like I'm in a Durban taxi only it was very appropriate then.

3. With the loud music playing, the train has beeeeen parked outside our destination for almost 20 minutes. People in the train next to ours are jumping out and running on the tracks. There isn't any movement in our train. Snobs.

4. Then I get a Whatsapp message from the ex roomy who was supposed to move yesterday that she can't move today either. Cramps she says.

But for some reason I'm still smiling. I realise that life could be worse. Like Jamie once said: "you can either choose to react to life or respond to it." Well I choose a positive response. I am happy to be alive! And so should you.

God please guide and keep us through today.
