One possibility is that the thermostat is going out. Replacing it is quick, easy, and cheap. Be sure to use an OEM thermostat available from some of the site sponsors. It has three positions IIRC. Some thermostats available from parts stores are the correct dimensions but don't work properly in all conditions.
The heater valve is probably not an issue unless it has started to leak, in which case replacement is a fairly straightforward procedure (unless you try to replace it through the speaker hole which is a royal pain).
Also check that the coolant tank cap isn't leaking. If it leaks it can prevent the temp from stabilizing properly.
Most important, check the coolant level. If it is low, it can produce your symptoms.
