A friendly way to start the weekend

New Hug for Christina

Hugging is scientifically proven to make us stronger, prettier, better. I could write a whole essay about it, but instead I dare invite you to hug the first person you see around.

The same group of scientific experts pointed out that kittn T-shirts make your day absolutely special.

A few of the many who dared:

Roxana

Andreea

Simona + her brother

Beautiful friend...

... honors kittns every time she wears her Soldier of love T-shirt, or just writes to us a happy inspiring letter.

Also, check her stunning feminine creations, from Munich with love.

An endless summer

I know in most countries people are making preparations for winter holidays, including inventing awesome warm layered outfits in the sweet colors of autumn, but our friend Anca has just spent her holidays in Tenerife... She packed two of her personalized kittn T-shirts and look, she simply rocked them so I couldn't resist sharing the photos with you...

...And hopefully sending joy for a new day along with her special bright smile.

PS. kittn in the park T-shirt is a bit older but holds a love story, imagine she was wearing it when she met him!

Once upon a friend

Her name is Andrada, she's recently (happily) married and I kind of played their matchmaker two years ago.



She is also very creative and fun to be with as every time we met I got that feeling of making myself comfortable in my seat anticipating the lovely stories. She is the person to always surprise you with something even if just an insight. Have I also said she's very resourceful?
I can see myself in her a lot, although I haven't showed my feelings until now.

We chat sometimes, but even if our encounters are rather rare I'm sure she knows I appreciate her a lot.

I was inspired to create her own character in a kittnish style and tired to reveal wit, innocence, curiosity, humanity, understanding. Oh, and her amazing eyes!

Then, kittns helped sew + paint the T-shirts according to her requests. The last one is a surprise (like always I don't know if the package arrived yet, so I'll post the photo later on).

We thank you from our hearts for wearing our stuff, Andrada!

We're here, we're OK!

Hi cats, long time no see.

I use the internet for a few hours a day normally, but our new home is not connected yet.

I'm glad I took some time away from the computer - first of all I cooled down with the never ending I could never draw as amazingly as she/he does syndrome that I always have while browsing flickr, pikaland, etsy, etc so I've been feeling more inspired + secure lately.

Other than that I actually did things, like working to finish new T-shirts, arranging the house, cooking, writing longer messages to friends but most of all enjoyed being with my sweethearts, big baby Marco + small baby that is almost here (35 weeks and counting...).

The only thing that I missed was writing here as often as I had ideas but maybe it's for the better as I'm in a phase when I'm learning more about quality + quantity.

I don't know when we will be connected at home, but for now I'm using WiFi at internet cafes so be sure your message gets to us.

In the next days we will talk about how to get friendly with spiders, how it would be if money wouldn't exist, hand crafted personalized T-shirts of course, a random day with kittns, a bit about pregnancy and many more. So don't miss out and please write whenever you feel like saying hello.

Speaking about kittns, here is lovely Adina wearing Soldier of love T-shirt, hat from personal wardrobe + colorful autumn leaves + lots of the most beautiful emotions in the world!



Plus the hot 1 + 1 = 3 promo continues in November, yay!

Feira Na Fábrica

Hello Monday, hello cats. How was your weekend?

We've been attending a fair in Lisbon yesterday so it was all good: kittns saw awesome stuff other cool people invent + had delicious home made cake. We had a wonderful time along with our amazing public relations manager Marco and new friends we met.

Here are a few photos... here's a bit of sunshine to begin this new week!

Hands up if you'd work with him

The t-shirt: painted (three layers) with textile hypoallergenic acrylics (without solvents).

The previous: here and here

The model: the one & only Marco (I first made a glorious breakfast, then he agreed).

The camera: please ceiling cat, I want a new one.

Note: no kittns were harmed during this photo session.

The kids are alright.

Who ever thought this day would come when I would stare for hours at the small growing bump in my belly trying to imagine that there is actually someone there getting ready day by day to step into this world. Amazing is the word that I often use, because no other words would do. If you are already a mommy you must know how it feels, and probably even more than me by now, if you're not I can recommend what I think is the best film of its genre: it's called In the womb, a documentary produced by National Geographic (if it's difficult to get it just write to me and I will be happy to transfer it to you).
We are very young - just 13 weeks and three days - but we are very alert so far. We already have friends: Maia wearing the Loves me loves me not bear t-shirt, hat and trousers from personal wardrobe and parent as accessory and



Adina wearing a version of Don't worry trees t-shirt with her Nana (who's a yoga teacher). I'm happy the t-shirts I created helped strengthen the bond and now I feel like making more stuff for kids.

Also, my best friends from uni and primary school are pregnant, Denisa is due in August and Maria in October - I'm so excited but at the same time I can't believe yet that I'm actually talking seriously about these things...
Have a fun week and remember the kids are always alright and we must see they stay that way!

Any ideas?

Ioana chose a t-shirt and before I go bla bla about artistic pangs I want to say how gorgeous she is wearing the (former) kitten logo, hand painted especially for her, of course. She is even taking part in a make-up contest and I hope kittens help her win. She sure looks confident!
Now back to drawing, I wanted to confess I still haven't had the inspiration for a new header. If you want to help me soul searching, you are always welcome to share your ideas.
So how is it going to be?

If it's March it must be love!

If I haven't told you that you can wear kitten t-shirts when pregnant and they're also available for babies, I'm proudly telling you now... and I've got the photos to prove it!
Andreea is just beautiful with her Hold Me tee and Adina rules the world (on her dad's birthday)!

How to... have a fresh t-shirt

Hi! Today I am going to tell you how to wear your autumn. You will need the following: t-shirt or blouse, a few plants or leaves that you like (and you can find on the ground), textile paint, medium brush, water, tissues, blank papers (not newspapers). Let's begin...

... with very important work cautions: you might want to thoroughly organize everything, so that you avoid unwanted paint spots all over the place including the t-shirt. Don't forget to place paper inside the t-shirt so the back doesn't get printed too. Choose the plants.

Take one, put it on a piece of paper, start applying paint with the brush, then place it on the t-shirt. Cover the painted plant with another piece of paper and press lightly. Remove the paper and the plant. Wash the brush and repeat as many times you want, changing the plants and colors.

Correct the design by adding color drops with a fine brush - I used golden tint for the final touch.
Here it is:

Have lots of fun creating your own :-)

We rock!

Olà, good morning! Today I want you to meet Adina, a beautiful girl and a pilot so passionate about flying, so trustful to spread her wings.
I am proud to have created her t-shirt and very happy to know such a courageous, strong woman.

New kittens.

Today I was also a model for the t-shirts that I created. I wasn't too professional, but I enjoyed every minute of it - Viviana was seriously talking the photos as some guys were giggling behind her (I'm sure they liked kitten t-shirts a lot).

So... here's a new kitten in town, hand painted with lace appliques on a cotton t-shirt...

A hand painted green-eyed kitten girl that's looking up to stars...

And two dreamers (shaped as giraffes this time) on an original hand painted & appliques t-shirt.

Well, that's it! I hope you liked my funny faces as well as the new designs - oh, by the way, all t-shirts are customizable - colors and sizes may vary by request.

Have a wonderful new week everyone!

Maria 's love.

So nothing stands between blue-yellow-fish and I, no matter what people say, OK?!

... cause blue-yellow-fish and I... it's just love, baby.
