Colour of the Year

Have you ever had the experience where a colour seems to introduce itself into your life without plan, design or thought and then you become aware of it and feel your curiosity piqued?

I noticed this happening a few years ago; first entering a year unaware, then sensing a colour dominating, acknowledging it, welcoming it, embracing it and allowing it to lead me through the year in its inspiration.

The colour seems to come in through gifts or an item i've gone out to buy (in let's say blue but they only have orange). So I bring it home and then notice that the gift I received is orange and that new top from the sale my friend found me is orange and so on.

The colour that seems to have introduced itself this time is Red and so saying farewell for now to last year's Orange. 

One of the red items is a set of souffle dishes, my challenge to myself for this year is to make my first ever souffle.  When I get to the day when I decide it's THE DAY then i'll post here in photos either the success or the failure - that will be something to look forward to.  Let's see what other red inspired things come along this year.
