>>I also made some Christmas gonks and walnut dioramas amongst other Christmas crafting (this post has some photos)<<
Wow, those are awesome.
>> expense. That's the major factor for not trying more things.<<
Yeah, that's a huge limiting factor for some crafts like painting or handspinning. Some are more variable. You can start crochet with one hook and a cheap skein of yarn, but the moment you want to work in wool or something else nice, the price skyrockets. :/ Sketching is cheap but paint is expensive.
I wish there were more places that had lots of equipment and supplies, with classes or workshops for different crafts, so people could pay an affordable monthly fee and get to dabble with lots of different things to see what they like -- or enjoy a craft like handspinning where the hardware is super expensive.
