Daddy's Soccer Princess

Without going into a lot of detail, my son LOVES SOCCER.  He has been playing soccer since we lived in Italy and he would go down to the soccer field at the end of the street and play with the older boys.  He was 3 and these boys were in their teens.  They were very patient with him.  He's now 38 and has played in Germany with a minor league, was scouted out by a Mexican team by age 24. He turned the team down and decided he wanted to teach instead.  So he is a coach at a Charter School.  He also is a very accomplished soccer trainer, taking on private and public teams and individuals.

I say all of that, because they are expecting a little girl in March. (date was moved up by 2.1/2 weeks.)  He has been telling me the only shoes that baby will have on her feet are soccer socks and boots. But I'm sure he will come around.  Anyway,  I decided to make a little top that included him too.  But I couldn't let it all be too boyish, so the little diaper covers have pink ruffles on the back. 

I designed and digitized this using Floriani software.  I really should have taken a little more time and gotten it more centered.  But over all I think it turned out really cute. I used the soccer ball for the "O" in soccer and a small tiara for the dot in princess..
